Text Encryption / Decryption
Symmetric AES-256-GCM encryption for messages that can only be read with the matching key. A fresh key is generated on every visit and shown as text and a QR code for easy sharing.
How it works & details
How it works: Your message is compressed with DEFLATE, encrypted with AES-GCM using a random initialization vector (IV), then the IV and ciphertext are combined and encoded in Base-95. Decryption requires the exact key that was used to encrypt.
Features
- Modern, secure AES-256-GCM encryption.
- Auto-generated key, displayed as text and a QR code for quick sharing.
- DEFLATE compression to shrink messages before encrypting.
- File upload/download, clipboard support, byte counters and toast feedback.
Limitations
- The key is ephemeral and changes on every reload — you must save and securely transmit it, or the message is unrecoverable.
- Only text files can be uploaded.
- Trailing spaces in the output are fragile and can be lost in transit (the tool warns you).
