What's the difference between Personal and Studio?

Personal ($39) is for one person — unlimited use on one active device at a time. Activate on a new device and the old one signs out. Studio ($199) is for teams and commercial client work — unlimited team members, early access to new tools, and a commercial license.

Do I need an account?

No. Use any tool free up to 5 times per day on compute-heavier tools, and unlimited on lightweight ones. No card, no account, no signup required.

Where are my files processed?

Right on your device. Files never upload to any server. Everything runs in your browser — you can verify in DevTools → Network.

What happens if I use my Personal license on a second device?

The new device activates and the old device signs out. Your license key stays the same — you just move it between devices as needed. No limit on how often you switch.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes. Every tool works on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop.

What if I want a refund?

30-day money-back guarantee on both tiers. No questions asked. Email sales@cipherforces.com.

Will you add more tools?

Yes. New tools ship regularly. Your license includes every tool we ever release — Studio members get early access.

About Encrypt & Decrypt.

Encrypt Text and Files With AES-256

Paste text or drop a file, enter a password, and CipherForces encrypts it using AES-256-GCM via the browser's native Web Crypto API. The recipient decrypts with the same password. All encryption and decryption happen locally.

Common Use Cases

Secure file transfer: Encrypt sensitive documents before uploading to email or cloud storage.
Password-protected notes: Encrypt personal notes that you need to share with yourself across devices.
Archive encryption: Encrypt backups before storing on third-party services.
Legal hold: Encrypt sensitive correspondence to preserve attorney-client privilege in transit.

Key Features

AES-256-GCM: The gold-standard modern symmetric cipher.
PBKDF2 key derivation: 100,000 iterations with per-message salt — prevents brute-forcing the password.
Text or file: Encrypt a paste-in string or a whole file.
Self-contained output: Encrypted payload includes salt, IV, and ciphertext in a portable format.
Backwards compatible: Decryption works on any CipherForces-encrypted file forever.

Privacy: Encryption uses crypto.subtle. Your password and plaintext never leave your browser.
