Show HN: Encrypter.site – Browser-based E2E encryption for text and files (encrypter.site)

2 points by zealer 5mo ago ↗ HN

I built a simple tool for encrypting text and files entirely in the browser.

- AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (600k iterations by default) - Supports text and file encryption (up to 256MB) - Data never leaves your device - Share encrypted content via QR code or link - No account, no server storage, no tracking

The crypto is handled by the Web Crypto API, and the source is straightforward if anyone wants to take a look. Would love feedback on the UX and any edge cases I might have missed.

I've played with/built a few browser based encryption tools. What always bothers me is that it boils down to "trust me, I won't send your data anywhere" in a tool with the primary function of sending and receiving data to/from remote servers

Nice work on the implementation! The client-side-only approach is solid for trust.

Thanks! By the way, I just launched a Time Capsule feature. Would love to have you try it out!
