AES Encrypt/Decrypt

AES-256-GCM via your browser's own SubtleCrypto - your passphrase and text never leave this page. Unlike Base64, this actually protects the content. Lose the passphrase and the text is gone for good; there's no recovery.

How to use

Type text and a passphrase under Encrypt and click Encrypt - you'll get one portable string to save or share. Paste that string and the same passphrase under Decrypt to get the text back.

FAQ

Is this really encryption, not just encoding like Base64?

Yes - AES-256-GCM is real, modern authenticated encryption, run via the browser's native SubtleCrypto. Base64 or ROT13-style tools just re-encode text; this actually protects it.

What happens if I forget the passphrase?

The text is unrecoverable. There's no backdoor or reset - that's the point of real encryption.

Does the passphrase or text get sent anywhere?

No, everything runs client-side. A random salt derives the key via PBKDF2, and a random IV feeds AES-GCM, all in your browser.
