What makes this Plus edition different from the Standard?Help TopicsThe Plus edition has 7 work panels that operate independently of each other, complete with settings, password and file list location / highlight.
The Standard edition has 1 work panel.
Encrypt a single fileHelp TopicsNavigate to the folder with the file to encrypt. Type a password in the password box at the top of program (just below the main toolbar). A password must be at least 3 characters long and no more than 1,000.
Set the desired encryption strength. Click the "" icon on the main toolbar to show the "Encryption Strength" menu and select the option that best suits your needs.
Highlight a file and click " Encrypt" link. The file is loaded into RAM, encrypted using your private password, and then written to disk with the additional file extension ".sfef". The original file is then deleted (not shredded).
Encrypted files have the extension ".sfef" and icon , clearly marking them encrypted.
Tip:
To remove a multi-file highlight from the file list, click / tap file once.
Decrypt a single fileHelp TopicsNavigate to the folder with the file to decrypt. It must be an encrypted file with the extension ".sfef" and icon of .
Type the password the file was encrypted with into the password box at the top of program (just below the main toolbar). A password must be at least 3 characters long and no more than 1,000.
Highlight the file and click the " Decrypt" link. The file is loaded into RAM, decrypted using your private password, and then written to disk with its original file extension restored. The encrypted ".sfef" file is deleted (not shredded).
An incorrect password will not decrypt the file and record an "Access Denied" error in the log.
Tip:
To remove a multi-file highlight from the file list, click / tap file once.
Encrypt a selection of filesHelp TopicsNavigate to the folder with the files to encrypt. Type a password in the password box at the top of program (just below the main toolbar). A password must be at least 3 characters long and no more than 1,000.
Start your multi-file selection by selecting the first file in the list with a single click / tap - file will highlight. Scroll down the list to the last file to include and click / tap it. The file will highlight and show an upward arrow (right side of list) to indicate a multi-file selection is possible. Click / tap file again to complete highlight. At the bottom of the program window the status bar will update to show number of files highlighted (see "Selected") and combined size (see "Size").
Click " Encrypt" link to encrypt the selected files. An "Encrypting" status window will display. To cancel, click / tap the " Cancel" button.
Each file will be loaded into RAM, encrypted using your private password, and written to disk with the file extension ".sfef" and icon . The original file is deleted (not shredded). The "Log" panel (right column) will refresh upon completion with each file and its status.
Tip:
Files marked "Skipped" in the log were already encrypted.
Decrypt a selection of filesHelp TopicsNavigate to the folder with the files to decrypt. Encrypted files have the extension ".sfef" and icon . Type a password in the password box at the top of program (just below the main toolbar). A password must be at least 3 characters long and no more than 1,000. The password must match the password the file(s) were encrypted with.
Start your multi-file selection by selecting the first file in the list with a single click / tap - file will highlight. Scroll down the list to the last file to include and click / tap it. The file will highlight and show an upward arrow (right side of list) to indicate a multi-file selection is possible. Click / tap file again to complete highlight. At the bottom of the program window the status bar will update to show number of files highlighted (see "Selected") and combined size (see "Size").
Click " Decrypt" link to decrypt the selected files. A "Decrypting" status window will display. To cancel, click / tap the " Cancel" button.
Each file will be loaded into RAM, decrypted using your private password, and written to disk with its original file extension. The encrypted ".sfef" file is deleted (not shredded). The "Log" panel (right column) will refresh upon completion with each file and its status.
Tips:
An incorrect password will fail to decrypt a file(s) and record an "Access Denied" error in the log.
Files marked "Skipped" in the log were already decrypted.
What is maximum file size and why use it?Help TopicsSmall File Encrypter Plus works specifically with small files. Typically less than 50 Mb. However this size can be adjusted. From the main toolbar, click /tap " Settings" link to display a menu.
Select a different file size (1Mb - 100Mb) from the "Maximum File Size" section. The file list will update to show only files of that size or less.
Tip:
Encrypted files are always displayed in the file list regardless of their file size.
Encryption StrengthHelp TopicsSmall File Encrypter Plus supports six encryption strengths:
1) Variable 64 bit (strength increases with password length)
2) Nominal 480 bit
3) Low 984 bit
4) Medium 2,072 bit
5) High 4,056 bit
6) Extreme 8,000 bit
A higher encryption strength incurs a small additional data overhead. It's recommended to use long passwords with high encryption strength.
Drag and DropHelp TopicsDrag and drop a folder or file onto Small File Encrypter Plus to instantly navigate to the folder, or in the case of a file, its parent folder.
Change the coloring of Small File Encrypter PlusHelp TopicsFrom the top toolbar click " Options" link to display the "Options" window. Click " Color" link to display "Color Schemes" list.
"Color Schemes" list is comprised of three distinct sections:
- Built-In Color Schemes
- Custom Color Schemes
- Saved Color Schemes
There are 150+ built-in color schemes. Select one. For instance, try "Black". The appearance changes to shades of black.
Twenty colors make up a single color scheme which determines the final appearance. Two colors govern the frame, nine for title colors (e.g. important sections - as the top toolbar and title panels), and a further nine for standard colors, for the majority of the background area.
Each built-in color scheme is comprised of its own set of unique colors, and cannot be modified. However, a custom color scheme does allow for adjustment. To create a custom color scheme, scroll further down the list to the section titled "Custom".
Here you'll find 10 custom slots, labelled "Custom 1" through to "Custom 10". Each slot is a fully managed storage point - any changes you make are automatically saved.
To create a custom color scheme, select a slot. For instance select "Custom 1". The list divides into two separate columns. The column on the left retains the color scheme names from before, while the column on the right displays four groups of color palettes - Frame Colors, Title Colors, Standard Colors and Special Color Generators.
The first three sections are comprised of color palettes that directly represent a color in the color scheme.
To adjust a color, click the color palette to display a "Color" window. Adjust the color as desired by sliding the Red, Green and Blue color sliders to the left for less color, or to the right for more color. Or, click and drag the surface of the "Color Matrix" panel. Moving your cursor or finger within the matrix assigns the color directly beneath your cursor/finger. It is also possible to drag outside the matrix area to obtain a color from your screen.
When done, click the "OK" button to accept the color and close the Color window. The color palette updates to reflect the new color, as does Small File Encrypter Plus.
Alternatively, click and drag the surface of the color palette to acquire any visible color on the screen. As different colors pass beneath your cursor/finger, the color palette and Small File Encrypter Plus updates in realtime.
Save Color Scheme
To save your color scheme to file select " Menu > Save As...". A "Save" window will display. Type a name for your color scheme and click the "Save" button. Your color scheme is saved to file and listed in the "Color Schemes" list.
Use Saved Color Scheme
Scroll down to the bottom of the "Color Schemes" list to find your saved color scheme(s). To use one in particular, select it. The colors apply immediately.
Make Changes To Saved Color Scheme
Select the saved color scheme you wish to change. The column on the right displays the color scheme palettes. As before, adjust one or more colors by accessing the color palette(s).
Any changes made are automatically saved to the file on disk. There is no need to manually resave the color scheme.
How to change the frame style, size and sparkleHelp TopicsOur uniquely framed window design allows for easy resizing and recognition. A frame can be made wider or narrower and include an optional embedded random sparkle effect.
From the top toolbar click " Options" link to display the "Options" window. Then click the " Frame" link.
Choose from one of the 32 built-in frame styles. For instance "Flat". The frame updates to reflect the new style.
Some frames require a minimum size to display at their best. For "Flat" this is 32. Setting a size below this results in a hint recommending a size of 32+ be set.
A frame may have a size from 0 (no frame) to a maximum size of 72 pixels. Drag the "Size" slider right to widen the frame, and left to narrow it.
Some frames benefit from a little sparkle. Using a sparkle value of 1 or more embeds a random texture into the frame. The higher the sparkle the more noticeable the effect.
The range of a sparkle is from 0 (off) to 20 (maximum).
For a clean-cut look, set sparkle to 0.
Tip:
A sparkle of 1 or more will also embed a random texture into the window's top title bar.
How to change the font, zoom factor, antialias level and size of textHelp TopicsSupport for large text and automatic zoom for large displays is built-in. Control how much anti-aliasing (smoothing of characters) is applied.
From the top toolbar click " Options" link to display the "Options" window. Then click the " Font" link.
Zoom
High resolution monitors, such as 4K and 8K display far more pixels (colored dots) per inch on screen than previous generations of monitors. To maintain the correct appearance of Small File Encrypter Plus across these significantly different graphic resolutions presents a challenge.
Comparison Of Monitor Resolutions:
2K = 1920w x 1080h = 2,073,600 pixels
4K = 3840w x 2160h = 8,294,400 pixels
8K = 7680w x 4320h = 33,177,600 pixels
From above, a 4K monitor uses four times more pixels to its 2K counterpart, for the same physical screen size. This means a program created to look and function correctly on a 2K monitor will appear smaller on a 4K monitor, technically half its intended width and height. Making everything that much smaller to view and click. And, the same program on an 8K monitor will suffer even more drastic shrinkage, rendering it pretty much unusable.
This is where zoom compensates. By default, zoom is set to automatic, making the necessary adjustments to enlarge text and images appropriately in order to maintain the expected appearance of Small File Encrypter Plus across all monitor resolutions.
A 2K monitor needs no adjustment. But a 4K monitor requires a 2x (200%) enlargement of text and images. These are calculated and implemented on-the-fly. And an 8K monitor requires a 4x (400%) enlargement of text and images.
The end result is Small File Encrypter Plus looks and feels the same on all monitors.
You can override the default automatic setting and specify a zoom value of 100%, 200%, 300% or 400%. This will force text and images to zoom accordingly. This may prove useful for a custom or unusual monitor resolution, for instance an ultra-wide monitor. Any change to the zoom setting takes effect immediately.
For a monitor with a resolution of 2K or less, manually setting a high zoom value may render a part or a majority of Small File Encrypter Plus inaccessibly off screen. In this case, a special internal safety feature automatically limits the zoom to a maximum safe level.
Font Size
Change the display size of text. The default value is 10. A smaller value decreases text size, and larger values increase it.
Tip:
Not all sizes are supported by every font. In some instances on Ubuntu, selecting a large font size for Arial may cause text to look strange. If this occurs, reduce the size until the text appears normally, or use another font.
Font Name
A font name represents the font to use when drawing text on the screen. It controls what style or characters are used, and even the technology used to draw the font. Older fonts like "System" are a bitmap based font, meaning they are unable to be scaled (resized). More modern fonts like Arial can scale, making them versatile across many different sizes. The main difference is memory. Bitmap fonts use memory for each size, whereas a scalable font, or vector font (made up of mathematically calculated lines and shapes) uses a single set of instructions and thus far less memory, but at the expense of speed.
Eleven predefined font names commonly found, in the most part, on modern Microsoft Windows operating systems, and to a lesser extend on older versions, and Ubuntu Linux are presented in a single "Font Name" panel.
By default, Arial is used. It is present on almost all computer operating systems, including Windows 95 and Ubuntu.
To use a different font name, click its name to select. The text on screen will update to reflect the change. If a font is not present on the current operating system, for instance "DejaVu Sans", would not be present on a Windows 95 operating system, a fallback font is used instead.
If you require a custom font name, then select the last option "Custom". The font name stored in this option takes affect. Click the "Custom" option again to display a "Font" window. A list of all font names present on your operating system is shown, numbered and in alphabetical order (A-Z). From this list, select the font name to be used and click the "OK" button. Text on the screen will update to reflect your change.
Font Feather / Font Specific Antialiasing
For maximum compatibility, two completely separate antialiasing systems are employed to render text on the screen.
The first is "Font Feather". A realtime, text character feathering algorithm for fonts without antialiasing. These are typically older, bitmap based fonts. But sometimes, even modern fonts cannot, or will not, support antialiasing under a specific font size. For instance, Arial on Windows drops antialias support for sizes under 14.
In this case, font feathering renders a gentle blurring of the character. A range of "Off" to "High" can be set. The higher the value, the more obvious the blurring effect.
Typically a high quality computer monitor will require only a value of "Low" for text to be presentable. Whereas lower resolution devices like TVs, which don't always honour every single pixel, and suffer from quality degradation, will require a stronger value of "Medium" or "High", for best results.
The easiest method to set the right value is to select the lowest value first, "Off" and work your way up to "Ultra" until the text appears comfortable for you, on the screen.
The second method employed is the "Font Specific Antialiasing" system. In this case, the font itself contains all the necessary information to render smooth edges to each of its characters. To use, select a value from "Dark" (use only partial information) to "Light" (make full use).
Typically it is best to try each option in turn until the text looks best for you.
Tip:
On Windows, the default font "Arial" may not support font specific antialiasing for font sizes under 14. As an alternative, try "Segoe UI", which does support smaller font sizes.
On Ubuntu v20, "Arial" does support font specific antialiasing for small font sizes.
Miscellaneous SettingsHelp TopicsFrom the top toolbar click " Options" link to display the "Options" window. Then click the " Settings" link.
A collection of program specific options to change how Small File Encrypter Plus behaves, looks and uses resources. Each option can be easily used by selecting it with a click or tap.

Economy modeHelp TopicsAutomatically reduce battery consumption and CPU/graphic loads on your computer with Economy mode. A short period of inactivity reduces paint requests and internal processing to ease the load on your computer's hardware, and reduce overall energy expenditure.
The first stage of economy mode activates after a short inactivity period of 30 seconds, lowering the maximum paint rate to no more than 2 requests per second.
After a continued inactivity of 10 minutes or more, the paint rate is further reduced to 1 request per second.
Internal processing may also lower, reducing the CPU load.
A single keyboard stroke, mouse click or touch will instantly disengage economy savings and return Small File Encrypter Plus to normal operation.
How to turn Economy mode on/off:
From the main toolbar click " Options" link to display the Options window. Click " Settings" link and select "Economy" from the Options panel to enable. Select it again to deselect the option and disable the economy mode.
What is a portable program?Help TopicsA portable program is a standard program, but with less requirements in order to run. The most important difference is that a portable program does not install. This enables it to run outside the normal scope of the computer's operating system - quite simply, it is not tied down.
Typically, a portable program might reside on a USB pen stick or other removable storage media, allowing it to be transferred between many different computers. This is not possible with an installed program as it must run on the computer it was specifically installed on.
The second important difference is the ability of a portable program to carry with it all the settings and support files it requires to operate. An installed program typically relies on a central storage structure determined by the type and version of the operating system to store, track and maintain a program's settings. This is the registry in Windows - a large, library of settings and parameters organised and protected by the Microsoft Windows operating system. On Linux, it is often a collection of predefined system folders, each with a specific type of function/purpose.
Without these, a portable program is solely responsible for the maintenance and organisation of its settings. For this reason a higher level of understanding and coding diligence is required. A portable program can be thought of as a special kind of software program.
A portable program may well be more difficult to code, but the advantage of not being tied to any one specific operating system or computer can be quite significant. From the convenience of having your program and data with you, to the greater privacy for those with a focus on security.
Our portable software programs are engineered exclusively "in house", with no third party add ons, plugins or additional DLLs. We believe in creating reliable, secure and lightweight code in order to produce efficient, powerful and simple to use software. Our engineering is designed to remain inconspicuous so that every program we build can be used with ease and simplicity.
Our definition of a portable program:
- No Installation - no additional DLL libraries or alterations to your operating system
- No Setup - run and use the program immediately
- No Registry Modifications - no changes to behaviour of your computer
- No Zipped Folder of Contents - no need to unpack a "zipped installation folder" to run
- No Specialised Hardware Requirements - a typical modern computer is sufficient
- No Specialised Software Requirements - no need for Direct X or .NET in order to run
- No Internet Required - no need for additional downloads, addons, or an internet connection to run or view documentation
- No External Help - integrated help displays inside the program, no need for help on disk or help on the internet, and no need for a web browser or text editor to view
- Self-contained - program comes with everything it needs, including any sample files etc
- All settings and support files stored in a sub-folder "Blaiz Enterprises" directly alongside the program EXE
- Consistent operation, behaviour and display over many different operating systems
- High Level of Backwards Compatibility - able to run on older hardware and operating systems, e.g. Windows 95/98
- Multiple Input Support - mouse and touch support for interaction on desktops, laptops and tablets
- Small Footprint - typical program size of ~1.2 Mb
- System Independent Code - Our 4th Generation Code Foundation utilises custom built dialog windows (Open, Save, Color, Options, etc), custom GUI rendering engine, custom window rendering and management subsystem, and custom graphics subsystem, empowering our software to run well across many different operating systems, including non-native systems such as Ubuntu v20 (via the use of Wine).
Tip:
Even though a program is portable, sometimes a change is made to the host computer. For instance, selecting the option "Desktop link" or "Start button link" from the " Options > Settings > Program Links" panel will create a shortcut file (a file with the extension ".lnk") on the computer. This is a function of the computer and is the exception, not the rule. By default, both options are not selected (off).
Start button and Desktop linksHelp TopicsBy default, Small File Encrypter Plus does not place a link on your computer's Start button or Desktop.
