I may or may not have some nude pictures, sent by someone. 
How do I encrypt the folder, so even if downloaded, it can't be opened by anyone else?

If you have 7z you can compress it to that format, just use a password that isn't a word and is at least 8 characters. Not even the NSA could crack that.

apparently WinRAR uses 128bit, 7z uses 256bit AES

do you need to use the folder like a folder or just save stuff?
for just saving, 7z, rar are probably enough
if you want an encrypted folder, that's a bit trickier
create and mount an encrypted volume
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VeraCrypt - a truecrypt fork - a result of the truecrypt audit, so you know it's a fortress
encrypt folder with individual files
this is great if you need to sync, version control the content or want to host it on dropbox or other cloud service
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS
http://members.ferrara.linux.it/freddy77/encfs.html - simple windows port
https://www.boxcryptor.com/en - more user friendly but free version was limited to 4GB when i used it a few years ago
i think windows has it's own encrypted folders but i have no idea how secure they are (i wouldn't trust it)
