How it began
Our story
Founded in 2001, AxCrypt set out to make encryption simple for everyone. Frustrated by the lack of easy-to-use security tools, we developed AxCrypt, which quickly became a global favorite with over 20 million downloads.
In 2014, we took AxCrypt to the next level by forming AxCrypt AB. Today, AxCrypt is recognized as one of the world’s leading encryption solutions, serving users across Europe, America, and beyond.
"Advanced encryption in a superbly simple setting"
Our mission is to provide individuals and small teams with secure, user-friendly encryption. We’re excited to continue making data protection accessible and reliable for everyone.
