Need to know more? Frequently asked questions about Encrypt Any File's security, privacy, and everything in between.

• Why use this instead of other tools?

  Simple: it works everywhere, needs no installation, and keeps your files private. Your browser already has powerful encryption built in - we just make it easy to use. No software to download, no accounts to create, no fuss.

• How secure are the encryption methods used?

  EncryptAnyFile uses AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (100,000 iterations) - the same standards used by banks and governments. All encryption happens directly in your browser using the native Web Crypto API, so your files never leave your device.

• Which encryption method should I use?

  Password encryption is simpler - just enter a password to encrypt/decrypt. Key pair encryption uses public/private keys and is more secure for repeated sharing since you never share the password. Use password encryption for quick one-time sharing, and key pairs for regular secure file transfers.

• Is browser-based encryption safe?

  Yes! Modern browsers provide the same cryptographic capabilities as desktop apps through the Web Crypto API. We use standard encryption algorithms (AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2) and follow security best practices. The code is open source and uses well-tested encryption libraries.

• What's the largest file I can encrypt?

  You can encrypt any type of file. There's no artificial size limit, but Safari and mobile browsers cap out at 1GB due to browser limitations. Desktop browsers can handle larger files just fine.

• Does this work offline?

  You bet! Once you load the page, everything works offline. You can even save it as a PWA (Progressive Web App) to use without internet. All encryption happens right on your device.

• Help! I forgot my password. Can I recover my files?

  Unfortunately, no. There's no way to recover encrypted files without the correct password or private key. We don't store your passwords or keys anywhere. Pro tip: Always keep your passwords and private keys in a secure password manager.

• Do you store or track any of my data?

  Nope! The app runs entirely in your browser and never stores or tracks anything. Your privacy is our priority.

• How do you keep this free?

  EncryptAnyFile is open source and independently maintained. While we show minimal, yet ethically selected, ads to cover the time spent on building and maintaining the service, we also accept donations through Ko-fi. Don't worry - the ads and donations have no impact on the security or privacy of the tool.

• Can I check the code myself?

  Absolutely! Our code is completely open source on GitHub. Feel free to review it or run security audits. We use standard encryption algorithms and follow security best practices.

• What if I have an idea to make this better?

  We love feedback! Share your ideas through our GitHub repository. Your input helps us improve security and usability. If you find EncryptAnyFile useful, consider making a small donation to help keep it free and getting better.
