## Description

**ZenCrypt** is a user-friendly Chrome extension for encrypting and decrypting files using strong AES-256 encryption in CBC mode with PKCS7 padding. It generates random initialization vectors and cryptographically secure keys to ensure data protection. ZenCrypt supports password stretching with PBKDF2 and includes a password strength analysis tool powered by zxcvbn4j, helping users create strong passcodes.

Users can encrypt any file type—from videos and pictures to documents and APKs—stored on internal, external, or cloud storage like Google Drive. The app supports quick encryption with a password or fingerprint (on compatible devices). It guarantees no storage of passwords or internet permissions, prioritizing your privacy. ZenCrypt is fully open-source and offers free unlimited encryptions, with a pro version unlocking dark theme and fingerprint encryption. It's an ideal solution for anyone needing seamless and robust file security.
