What is File Encryption?
File encryption protects your files by converting them into an unreadable format that can only be accessed with the correct password or encryption key. This ensures that even if someone gains access to your encrypted files, they cannot read or use the contents without the decryption key.
- Complete Privacy: Files processed entirely in your browser
- Strong Security: Uses AES-256 encryption standard
- Any File Type: Encrypt documents, images, videos, archives
- Password Protected: Only decrypt with the correct password
Common Uses
- Cloud Storage: Encrypt files before uploading to cloud services
- Email Attachments: Protect sensitive documents sent via email
- USB Drives: Secure portable storage devices
- Legal Documents: Protect confidential client information
- Personal Files: Secure tax returns, medical records, and ID scans
How to Use
- Select Encrypt File or Decrypt File mode
- Choose an encryption algorithm (AES is recommended)
- Enter a strong secret key (remember it for decryption!)
- Drag and drop your file or click to browse
- Click the process button to encrypt or decrypt
- Download the encrypted or decrypted file
Glossary
- AES-256
- Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit key - military-grade encryption used by governments worldwide.
- Encryption Key
- A password or cryptographic key used to encrypt and decrypt files.
- Client-Side Encryption
- Encryption performed in your browser without sending data to a server, ensuring maximum privacy.
- End-to-End Encryption
- Data is encrypted on your device and only decrypted by the intended recipient.
- Zero-Knowledge
- A security model where the service provider has no access to your encryption keys or unencrypted data.
- Brute Force Attack
- Attempting to guess an encryption password by trying many combinations.
