Text encrypt / decrypt

Encrypt and decrypt text with a password, using AES-256.

AES-256-GCM with a PBKDF2 key from your password. Encrypted in your browser — the password is never stored or sent. Lose the password and the message is unrecoverable.

How it works

1

Enter your text

Type or paste the message you want to protect.

2

Set a password

Choose a strong password — it is the only way to decrypt the result.

3

Encrypt or decrypt

Copy the encrypted output to share, or paste ciphertext and your password to read it back.

Why use Text encrypt / decrypt

Strong, standard encryption

Text is protected with AES-256 via the browser’s Web Crypto API, with your password stretched into a key.

Only you hold the key

Encryption and decryption happen locally and the password is never sent anywhere, so only someone with it can read the message.

Shareable ciphertext

The output is plain text you can paste into a message or note; the recipient decrypts it with the same password.

Frequent questions

What happens if I forget the password?
The text cannot be recovered. AES-256 has no back door — without the exact password there is no way to decrypt, so store it somewhere safe.
Is my text or password uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser using the Web Crypto API, so neither the text nor the password ever leaves your device.
