AES Encrypt
Encrypt text with AES (GCM, CBC, or CTR).
Note: The key is derived from the password with SHA-256 and a fresh random IV is used for every encryption. The output format is iv:ciphertext as lowercase hex. For AES-GCM the ciphertext is authenticated (tamper and wrong-password detection); CBC and CTR are not — use GCM for secure data.
What Is a AES Encrypt?
The AES Encrypt tool encrypts text with the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm directly in your browser using the Web Crypto API. It supports the three major modes — authenticated GCM, plus CBC and CTR — and derives a 256-bit key from your password with SHA-256. All encryption happens locally; nothing is uploaded. This free online tool is useful for AES encryption tool, AES encrypt online, AES-GCM encryption. Common use cases include local encryption experiments, secure development, testing, and learning authenticated encryption. It is designed for quick browser-based hashing, encoding, decoding, encryption testing, checksum comparison, identifier generation, and cryptography education. For production security, follow the algorithm's current standards, key-management requirements, and application-specific security guidance.
