AES Encryption

Encrypt and decrypt text with AES-256-GCM and a password. Everything stays in your browser.

🔒 100% in your browser — nothing is uploaded

How it works

Encrypt or decrypt text with AES-256-GCM. Your password is stretched into a key with PBKDF2 (250,000 iterations); the output bundles a random salt and IV so each encryption is unique. Everything happens in your browser via the Web Crypto API — your password and text never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

How secure is this?

It uses AES-256-GCM (authenticated encryption) with PBKDF2-SHA-256 key derivation — the same primitives browsers and banks rely on. Security still depends on choosing a strong password.

Can you recover my text if I forget the password?

No — and neither can anyone else. There is no backdoor and nothing is stored, so a lost password means the text is unrecoverable.

Does my data get uploaded?

Never. Encryption and decryption run entirely in your browser; no text or password is sent to any server.
