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.

Values beginning with EOE1 are detected automatically. Unprefixed legacy values require an explicit legacy method.

Enter the encrypted value and passphrase to enable decryption.

About this tool

This tool decrypts versioned EOE1 AES-256-GCM envelopes with the original passphrase. Select AES-256-CBC or 3DES for compatible legacy values.

Decrypt text
  1. Leave auto-detect selected for an EOE1 envelope. A share link can load the encrypted value.
  2. For an older unprefixed value, select AES-256-CBC or 3DES legacy compatibility.
  3. Paste the encrypted text on the left.
  4. Enter the original passphrase.
  5. Click "Decrypt" to view the output on the right.
  6. If an error appears, confirm the algorithm and passphrase match.
Encrypt another value

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.

Supported decryption formats

EOE1 envelopes use AES-256-GCM. Compatible legacy CryptoJS values can use AES-256-CBC or 3DES. Use OpenPGP Message for armored OpenPGP messages.

Base64 decoding

Use the Base64 Decode tool when you need decoding without decryption.

FAQ
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.

Does this tool store my data?

Decryption runs in your browser. This tool does not store or send your encrypted text, passphrase, or decrypted output to an Encrypt Online server. Review the Privacy and Security pages for site-level services and limitations.
