About File Encryptor & Decryptor

A file encryptor and decryptor is essential for protecting sensitive documents, personal data, and confidential files. Our free online file encryptor lets you encrypt files with a password using AES-256-GCM encryption — the same standard used by governments and security agencies worldwide. Whether you're protecting financial records, securing personal documents, sharing confidential work files, or safeguarding private information during transfer, this tool makes file encryption fast and completely free.

Processing happens entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your files and passwords never leave your device — they are not uploaded to any server, not stored in the cloud, and not accessible to anyone but you. The tool supports both single file and batch encryption (multiple files are zipped before encryption). Decryption automatically extracts the original filename and returns your file in its original format.

The encryption process uses PBKDF2 key derivation with 100,000 iterations of SHA-256, combined with a random 16-byte salt and 12-byte IV, producing AES-256-GCM encrypted output. The encrypted file includes the salt, IV, original filename, and encrypted content in a single binary format with a .encrypted extension. Decryption reverses this process automatically.

From security-conscious professionals and students to businesses protecting proprietary data, content creators securing original work, and everyday users safeguarding personal files — anyone who needs to encrypt a file online with strong security will benefit. No registration, no server uploads, no limits.

How to Encrypt Files Online

  1. Select Encrypt tab: Choose the Encrypt Files tab to begin protecting your data.
  2. Upload files: Drag & drop files or click to browse. Select single or multiple files.
  3. Set a strong password: Enter and confirm a password (min 8 characters). Longer passwords with mixed characters are more secure.
  4. Click "Encrypt File(s)": Your files are encrypted locally using AES-256-GCM. For multiple files, they are zipped first then encrypted.
  5. Download encrypted file: The .encrypted file downloads automatically. Share it securely — recipients need the same password to decrypt.

Tip: Use a password of at least 12 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Store your password in a password manager — if you lose it, your files cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a file encryptor?

Encrypts files with a password using AES-256-GCM encryption. Encrypted files can only be decrypted with the correct password, keeping your data secure.

Is this file encryptor free?

Yes, completely free with no limits, subscriptions, or hidden fees. Encrypt and decrypt unlimited files.

Do I need to register?

No. Encrypt and decrypt files instantly without any account or personal information.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Processing happens entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your files and password never leave your device. No server upload occurs.

What encryption is used?

AES-256-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard 256-bit) with PBKDF2 key derivation using SHA-256 and 100,000 iterations for strong password-based key generation.

What file types are supported?

Any file type — documents, images, videos, archives, PDFs. The tool accepts all file formats through the browser's file input.

Can I encrypt multiple files at once?

Yes, select multiple files. They are zipped together before encryption, producing a single .encrypted file.

What is the output format?

Encrypted files have a .encrypted extension and contain the salt, IV, original filename, and encrypted data in a binary format.

Is there a file size limit?

Browser memory limits apply since processing is local. For best performance, keep files under 500MB on devices with 8GB+ RAM.

What browsers are supported?

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. Requires Web Crypto API support (all modern browsers).

Can I use this on mobile?

Yes, fully responsive for smartphones and tablets.

What if I forget my password?

Your password cannot be recovered. AES-256-GCM encryption is designed to be unbreakable without the correct password. Always store your password securely.
