Simple, Powerful Protection for Your Files on iOS

AES Crypt for iOS lets you decrypt, preview and share files encrypted with AESCrypt.com. Open encrypted files from Dropbox, Google Drive, Email, iCloud and other apps with ease.

An in-app upgrade enables encryption directly from your device—protect documents, photos, and more, then share securely to your favorite cloud service.

AES Crypt uses the industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to provide strong, cross-platform file security across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices. Whether you’re backing up sensitive files to the cloud or storing private documents locally, AES Crypt gives you simple, powerful protection.

Help & Tips

We’ll publish guides and videos here soon. For now, a few quick pointers:

Opening .aes files: In Dropbox/Google Drive/Email iOS App, use “Share” → “Open In…” → choose AES Crypt.

Preview & Export: Decrypted files stay in-app for preview. Use “Share” to send to other apps.

Upgrade for Encryption: Turn on the in-app upgrade to encrypt files or photos directly on-device.

Face ID / Touch ID: Enable biometric protection inside the app’s settings.

Light / Dark Mode: Select the theme inside the app’s settings.
