❓ File Encryptor FAQs
Can SecureGenTools decrypt my files?
No. All encryption and decryption happen entirely in your browser. We never receive your files or password, which means only you can decrypt the content.
What happens if I forget the encryption password?
The password is required to decrypt the file. Because we never store it, there is no recovery option. Always save your password securely in a password manager.
Is the encryption method compliant with industry standards?
Yes. We use AES-256 in GCM mode with PBKDF2 key derivation, which meets modern security standards used by enterprises and governments.
Can I decrypt files created in other tools?
Only files encrypted with this tool (which includes metadata and specific formatting) can be decrypted here. Files encrypted elsewhere may not include the required metadata.
Does encryption work offline?
Yes. Once the page loads, you can disconnect from the internet and encryption/decryption will still work because processing is done locally.
