What is a .ECD file?
An .ECD file is a type of file that is made and used by a service called Cryptee. Cryptee is a tool that you can use on the internet to write documents or make edits to them in a way that keeps them safe and private. When you create a document in Cryptee and decide to save it, it can be saved as an .ECD file. This means that the document is locked up using a special code that only Cryptee knows how to unlock. This is what we mean when we say the document is "encrypted." The cool thing about an .ECD file is that it can hold different kinds of content. Whether you're working with text (like essays or notes), pictures, videos, or even audio clips, if you save your work in Cryptee, it can be stored in an .ECD file. This is really handy because it means all sorts of information can be kept safe in one file.
Now, if you have an .ECD file and you want to open it to see the document or make changes, you need to use Cryptee. Since Cryptee is a web-based service, you'll go to the Cryptee website on your internet browser. Once you're there and you've logged in, you can open the .ECD file. Because of the encryption, trying to open the file with any other program won't work. Only Cryptee knows the special code to unlock and show the contents of the file.
So, in summary, an .ECD file is a secure, encrypted document made with Cryptee, capable of holding various types of content. To open or edit an .ECD file, you'll need to use the Cryptee service on the web.
