Creating an encrypted archive

Encrypting your archives means that only people who know the password can open them.

To create an encrypted archive:

  1. Click Create
  2. Drag in the files you want to archive
  3. Choose a name and format for the archive
  4. Note: iArchiver can only encrypt Zip and 7z archives. Choose Zip format if you want to share your archives with Windows users. Choose 7z if you want to save more space.
  5. Tick Encrypt, pick a password and click OK
  6. Drag out the icon to where you want to create your archive in Finder
