Text Encrypt
Secure your messages with simple, local-first AES encryption.
About Encryption tool
Encrypting a piece of text with a passphrase turns it into ciphertext that cannot be read without that passphrase. Suitable for a note you want to store or send through a channel other people can see.
How to use it
- Enter the text and choose a passphrase.
- Encrypt it.
- Share the ciphertext, and the passphrase separately.
Worth knowing
The passphrase is everything: lose it and the text is unrecoverable, share it carelessly and the encryption is pointless. Never send both through the same channel. For anything genuinely sensitive, use established end-to-end encrypted tooling rather than a web utility.
Common questions
- How strong is it?
- AES is a sound algorithm, but real-world strength depends on your passphrase. A short one is quickly brute-forced regardless of the cipher.
- Can you recover my text without the passphrase?
- No. That is the property that makes encryption worth using.
