Sometimes you need to send information that should not be readable if intercepted — account credentials, financial details, legal information, or personal messages that are nobody else's business. Email and chat apps are convenient, but they are not always encrypted end-to-end, and messages often persist in plaintext on servers you do not control.

This tool lets you encrypt any text message directly in your browser using AES-256-GCM — the same encryption standard used by banks and government agencies. The encrypted message is embedded in a URL that you can share through any channel. Only someone who has the password you set can decrypt it.

Features

AES-256-GCM Encryption

Your message is encrypted with the same algorithm used by the U.S. government for classified information. Computationally infeasible to break.

Share as a Link

The encrypted ciphertext is embedded in the URL. Send it via email, text, Slack, or any messaging app.

Zero Knowledge

Encryption happens in your browser. The server never sees your message, your password, or the encrypted output.

How It Works

1
Type your message

Enter the sensitive text you want to protect — passwords, account numbers, personal notes, anything.

2
Set a strong password

Choose a passphrase that you'll share with your recipient through a separate channel.

3
Click Encrypt

The tool encrypts your message in the browser and generates a shareable URL containing the ciphertext.

4
Share the link and password separately

Send the encrypted link through one channel and the password through another for maximum security.

When You Need Encrypted Messaging

Encrypted messaging is not just for spies and security researchers. Anyone who shares sensitive information online benefits from encryption. Sending a Wi-Fi password to a houseguest? A bank account number to a family member? Login credentials to a coworker? These are all cases where plain-text communication creates unnecessary risk.

Unlike encrypted messaging apps that require both parties to install the same software, a browser-based encryption tool works everywhere. The recipient just needs a web browser and the password. There is no app to download, no account to create, and no message stored on a third-party server.

For recurring sensitive communications, pair this tool with a pre-agreed password system. For one-time use, share the password verbally or through a different channel than the encrypted link.
