Free open source disk encryption software
Updated
VeraCrypt is free open source disk encryption software that encrypts files, partitions and storage devices. It is a fork of the discontinued TrueCrypt project and is maintained by IDRIX, with security improvements over its predecessor.
VeraCrypt is used by individuals, journalists and organizations that want strong, free disk encryption for laptops, external drives and sensitive files without a vendor subscription.
VeraCrypt is free to download and use. It is open source and has no paid tiers, with donations accepted by the project, so no price applies.
Teams comparing VeraCrypt commonly look at BitLocker, Cryptomator and FileVault. What VeraCrypt offers in particular is on-the-fly encryption of volumes and partitions, encrypted file containers and system partition and drive pre-boot authentication.
