    Hi @Parveen Singh , to encrypt Image and PDF files with Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) console, you can follow these steps:

    1. Install the MIP client on your computer. You can download the client from the Microsoft Download Center.
    2. Open the MIP console and sign in with your Azure AD credentials.
    3. Click on the "Create new label" button to create a new label for your files.
    4. Enter a name and description for the label, and select the appropriate sensitivity level for your files.
    5. Under "Protection settings", select "Encrypt" and choose the encryption method you want to use. You can choose from several encryption options, including "Azure Rights Management" and "Password".
    6. Click "Save" to save the label.

    Once you have created the label, you can apply it to your Image and PDF files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Right-click on the file you want to encrypt and select "Classify and protect".
    2. Select the label you created earlier from the list of available labels.
    3. Click "Apply" to apply the label to the file.

    Make sure to have the appropriate permissions to apply the label to the file!
