How to encrypt an image (and other stuff) graphically on linux (lemmy.zip)

Hi, I want a nice easy-to-use graphical program which can show image thumbnails atleast, and provide an easy way to encrypt images, and ideally other files too. I heard of a few programs but some dont show images and some look a bit dated ui wise. Seeing image thumbnails is pretty much a requirement as it would be alot of swapping back and forth otherwise.

I am using KDE (and nixos), I dont think that matters much for what I want.

Try plasma vaults, its part of your Kde desktop.

Oh, I just looked at it. Seems like the perfect solution. I enjoy that you can easily lock and unlock the vault while the machine is up and logged in to ensure no one can gain access due to the computer being left on but unattended. Much smoother than the old encrypted 7-zip that I used as a teenager.
