AES Encrypt / Decrypt

AES Encryption and Decryption Tool

Encrypt and decrypt text or files using AES-256 encryption. Password-based encryption entirely in your browser.

Privacy: Processing happens in your browser. Files and text are not uploaded to Anwita Digital servers.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose Encrypt or Decrypt mode
  2. Enter text to encrypt or paste encrypted text to decrypt
  3. Enter a strong passphrase (required for encryption/decryption)
  4. Click Encrypt or Decrypt button
  5. Copy encrypted result or decrypted plaintext
  6. IMPORTANT: Remember your passphrase, lost passphrases cannot be recovered

About AES Encrypt / Decrypt

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a robust symmetric encryption algorithm used worldwide for securing sensitive data. This tool uses AES-256-GCM with password-based key derivation (PBKDF2), providing strong security for text and file encryption.

All cryptographic operations use browser's native Web Crypto API. Your data and passphrases never leave your device, critical for encrypting sensitive notes, credentials, private messages, or confidential documents.

Encryption security depends on passphrase strength. Use long, complex, unique passphrases. Short or common passphrases can be brute-forced. Store passphrases securely, without them, encrypted data is unrecoverable.

Frequently asked questions

AES-256 is military-grade encryption, considered unbreakable with current technology when properly implemented. Security depends on passphrase strength, weak passphrases undermine strong encryption.

No. AES encryption is designed to be unrecoverable without the correct passphrase. There's no password reset or backdoor. Always store passphrases securely before encrypting important data.

Implementation varies. Some tools encrypt text only; others handle file upload and encryption. File encryption produces encrypted binary data you can download and decrypt later with the same passphrase.
