Image Encryption and Decryption Online

🔒 Image Encryption Tool — Protect your image files by converting them into encrypted data using military-grade encryption algorithms. The output cannot be viewed without the correct decryption key.

💡 Want to hide data inside images instead? Try our Image Steganography Tool to embed secret messages invisibly within images.

🛡 Privacy First: All processing happens locally in your browser. No uploads, no tracking, no server storage — your images stay private.

🔐 Supported Encryption Algorithms

Algorithm Type Key Size Best For
★ AES-256-GCM Authenticated 256-bit Recommended - fast & secure with integrity check
AES-256-CBC Block 256-bit Classic mode, wide compatibility
AES-256-CTR Stream 256-bit Fast streaming encryption for large files
XSalsa20-Poly1305 Authenticated 256-bit Modern, high-speed authenticated encryption
Triple DES Legacy 168-bit Legacy systems compatibility
Rabbit Stream 128-bit High-speed stream cipher
AES-128 Block 128-bit Faster encryption, still secure

🔒 All algorithms use PBKDF2 key derivation with 100,000 iterations for passphrase-based encryption.

📄 How Image Encryption Works

Image encryption converts your image data into an unreadable format using cryptographic algorithms like AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). The encrypted output cannot be viewed without the correct decryption key.

🔐 AES Encryption Process

Your image binary data serves as the Plain text input, combined with your Secret key (passkey). The cipher processes this through multiple rounds of substitution and permutation to produce the encrypted Cipher text.

🔒 Security Note: The key size (128, 192, or 256 bit) determines encryption strength. This tool uses AES-256 by default with 100,000 PBKDF2 iterations for maximum security.
