What is an AXX file?

An AXX file is a file that has been encrypted by AxCrypt, a file encryption tool for Windows. It stores the contents of a file, such as an .XLSX spreadsheet or a .JPG image, in a protected format that users can only open with the correct password. In some cases, a key file may also be required for access (e.g., a .TXT, .KEY, or .DAT file).

More Information

AxCrypt is a file encryption software designed for Windows (and later macOS, Android, and iOS) that enables users to securely encrypt individual files using strong encryption standards, such as AES-128 and AES-256 (it also provides built-in file compression to reduce file sizes). Individuals, small businesses, and privacy-conscious users who want a simple way to encrypt files for storage or transmission primarily use AxCrypt and AXX files to protect sensitive documents such as financial records, personal files, or work-related data.

NOTE: Axantum Software AB, a Swedish company, initially developed AxCrypt. The tool gained popularity in the 2000s and eventually transitioned to a more structured organization named AxCrypt AB.

An AXX file may also be a project package created by Corel Pinnacle Studio, a video-editing program for Windows. It contains a video project, which includes settings and video timeline information, along with media imported into the project (unlike .AXP project files that store references to the media). Pinnacle Studio users save projects as AXX files to share or back them up.

More Information

Pinnacle Studio is a consumer-level video editor people often use to create home movies and slideshows. While users typically save projects in the default AXP format, they may save them as AXX files to transfer or back them up since it stores them all in one file. To save a project as an AXX package, select File → Save Movie As Package.
