React-web tool that uses AES-256 encryption to securely convert image files into encrypted strings, safeguarded by a user-defined password.

ImageCrypt | Secure Image Encryption

ImgCrypt is a react web-based tool that empowers you to securely encrypt image files using cutting-edge hashing and the AES-256 encryption algorithm. This guarantees that only authorized users with the correct password can decrypt and view the original image. ImageCrypt has been meticulously designed to prioritize security while offering a straightforward and user-friendly experience.

Features

• Advanced Encryption: Utilizes the AES-256 encryption algorithm, one of the most robust encryption methods available.
• Password Protection: Encrypt and decrypt images using a user-defined password for an added layer of security.
• User-Friendly Interface: Our intuitive web interface makes the encryption and decryption process a breeze.
• Versatile Output Options: Save the encrypted image data as a downloadable text file or copy it to your clipboard for your convenience.
• Anytime Decryption: Decrypt your images whenever the need arises.

How It Works

ImgCrypt makes use of powerful encryption techniques to secure your image files. Here's a brief overview of the process:

1. Encryption:

   • Upload an image file to the web application.
   • Enter a strong password for encryption.
   • Click the "Encrypt" button.
   • ImageCrypt will generate an encrypted string.

2. Decryption:

   • Visit the ImageCrypt website.
   • Click on the "Decrypt" link.
   • Enter the encrypted string and the corresponding password.
   • The original image will be displayed and can be downloaded.

Remember to store your password securely. Without the correct password, decryption is not possible, ensuring the security of your data.
