Encryption happens directly on your device
Encrypti0n performs encryption and decryption locally using modern browser cryptography without uploading plaintext to remote servers.
Local-First Security
Local Browser Encryption Keeps Your Data on Your Device
Local browser encryption performs encryption and decryption directly in your browser instead of sending your files or text to remote servers. This privacy-first approach helps reduce unnecessary exposure while giving you greater control over your sensitive information.

Security and privacy notes
- Local encryption significantly reduces one category of risk, but it cannot protect against malware or someone who already has access to your unlocked device.
- Keeping your operating system, browser, and installed extensions secure remains an essential part of protecting sensitive information.

Why encrypt data locally?
Every time sensitive information is uploaded before it is encrypted, another system temporarily has access to the original plaintext. Local browser encryption changes that workflow by protecting your data before it leaves your device. This reduces the amount of trust you need to place in cloud services while giving you greater control over your own information.

FAQ
Questions people ask before using this
The biggest advantage is that your files and text are encrypted before they leave your device. This reduces unnecessary exposure of sensitive information to remote servers or third-party services.
No. Local encryption protects data during storage and sharing, but it cannot prevent malware, compromised devices, or poor password practices from exposing sensitive information.
Yes. Because plaintext stays on your device during encryption, less sensitive information is transmitted or stored by external services.
Absolutely. Keep your browser updated, remove unnecessary extensions, use strong passwords, and enable full-disk encryption on your device whenever possible.
No. Encrypti0n does not require an account to encrypt or decrypt text and files, helping minimise unnecessary data collection.
Yes. The application includes optional local app encryption, encrypted password slots, inactivity auto-lock, and encrypted import and export features for protecting locally stored configuration data.
If someone gains control of your device while it is unlocked or infects it with malware, they may access sensitive information before it is encrypted or after it has been decrypted. Device security remains just as important as strong encryption.
