Kryptel is available in three editions covering a wide range of users' requirements.
Free Edition (Kryptelite) is excellent choice for those users who use encryption only occasionally. While it lacks bells and whistles of the more advanced editions, it still does the job perfectly and provides the same highest level of security.
Standard Edition includes all the major features you'd expect from top-notch encryption software. Besides basic encryption/decryption operations, this edition can do encrypted backups and script-driven encryption jobs. Kryptel Standard includes powerful Kryptel Browser for inspecting and modifying encrypted containers, and can be run from a USB drive.
If security and reliability is absolute priority, Enterprise Edition is what you need. In addition to the Standard Edition's features, Kryptel Enterprise offers command-line interface for automated processing and can work in FIPS 140-2 -compliant encryption mode. In case of a hardware failure its Data Recovery feature will help you minimize damage by recovering data from the corrupted container.

Notes
Unlimited file size
While Kryptel does not limit file size, operating system limitations may apply. For instance, FAT32-formatted drives cannot hold files larger than 4Gb.
Additional ciphers and Kryptelite
Kryptelite does not allow cipher selection and always uses AES/ZIP for encryption. However it includes all the additional ciphers from the advanced product editions, and so can decrypt files created by Standard or Enterprise editions.
Thumbnail pre-generation
Kryptel Browser always shows thumbnails for picture files, however for large pictures, on-the-fly thumbnail rendering may be very slow. This feature allows pre-creating thumbnails during encryption, slightly increasing encryption time, but making container browsing much more convenient.
FIPS 140-2 compliance
FIPS 140-2 is the current version of the Federal Information Processing Standardization 140 (FIPS 140) publication that specifies requirements for cryptography modules. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the FIPS 140 series to uphold the standards that describe the United States Federal Government requirements that IT products should meet.
