Free AES Text Encryption Online

Encrypt and decrypt text using AES-GCM with password-based keys

AES-256-GCM encryption runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your text and password never leave your device.

AES-256-GCM

Military-grade authenticated encryption — the same standard used in TLS 1.3 and Signal.

PBKDF2 Key Derivation

Your password is stretched with 100,000 iterations and a random salt before being used as a key.

Zero Network Requests

All cryptographic operations run locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Choose mode

    Select "Encrypt" to protect text, or "Decrypt" to recover original text from ciphertext.

  2. 2

    Enter your text

    In Encrypt mode, enter the plaintext you want to protect. In Decrypt mode, paste the Base64 ciphertext.

  3. 3

    Enter a password

    Choose a strong password. In Decrypt mode, use the same password that was used to encrypt.

  4. 4

    Click Encrypt or Decrypt

    The operation runs using the Web Crypto API in your browser. No data leaves your device.

  5. 5

    Copy the result

    Copy the encrypted ciphertext or the decrypted plaintext.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AES encryption tool free?+
Yes, completely free with no sign-up. All cryptographic operations use the browser's built-in Web Crypto API.
Is AES-256-GCM secure?+
Yes. AES-256-GCM is considered the gold standard for symmetric encryption. It provides both confidentiality (no one can read the data without the key) and integrity (tampering with the ciphertext is detected). It is used in TLS 1.3, Signal, WhatsApp, and most modern secure systems.
What happens if I lose my password?+
There is no way to recover the original text without the password. AES-256 has no backdoor. If you lose your password, the data is permanently unrecoverable — store your password securely.
