Decrypt Text Online
Decrypt text with the original passphrase. Share links load encrypted values automatically. Select AES-256-CBC or 3DES for compatible legacy values.
This tool decrypts versioned EOE1 AES-256-GCM envelopes with the original passphrase. Select AES-256-CBC or 3DES for compatible legacy values.
- Leave auto-detect selected for an EOE1 envelope. A share link can load the encrypted value.
- For an older unprefixed value, select AES-256-CBC or 3DES legacy compatibility.
- Paste the encrypted text on the left.
- Enter the original passphrase.
- Click "Decrypt" to view the output on the right.
- If an error appears, confirm the algorithm and passphrase match.
Use the Encrypt Tool to create another EOE1 AES-256-GCM value and an optional share link. Send its passphrase through a separate channel. See How to Share an Encrypted Message With a Link for sender and recipient steps.
EOE1 envelopes use AES-256-GCM. Compatible legacy CryptoJS values can use AES-256-CBC or 3DES. Use OpenPGP Message for armored OpenPGP messages.
Use the Base64 Decode tool when you need decoding without decryption.
What do I need to decrypt a value?
Use the original passphrase. An EOE1 envelope includes the AES-GCM settings required for decryption. A share link can preload the encrypted value. Select the matching method for unprefixed legacy values.
Why does decryption fail?
Most failures come from a changed value, an incorrect passphrase, or the wrong method for an older unprefixed value.
