AES (Rijndael) uses a key schedule to expand a short key into a number of separate round keys. This is known as the Rijndael key schedule. The three AES variants have a different number of rounds. Each variant requires a separate 128-bit round key for each round plus one more. The AES demonstrates the workflow of the AES algorithm for 128-bit plaintext and key. Run AES from the installation directory and the main window will show up. The 'AES' main window has two pages as follows: Demo Mode Page. This page has four subpages. AES encryption and decryption online tool for free.It is an aes calculator that performs aes encryption and decryption of image, text and.txt file in ECB and CBC mode with 128, 192,256 bit. The output can be base64 or Hex encoded.
Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) is a symmetric encryption algorithm. AES is the industry standard as of now as it allows 128 bit, 192 bit and 256 bit encryption.Symmetric encryption is very fast as compared to asymmetric encryption and are used in systems such as database system. Following is an online tool to generate AES encrypted password and decrypt AES encrypted password. It provides two mode of encryption and decryption ECB and CBC mode.

Usage Guide
Aes Round Key Example
Any plain-text input or output that you enter or we generate is not stored on this site, this tool is provided via an HTTPS URL to ensure that text cannot be stolen.
For encryption, you can either enter the plain text, password, an image file or a .txt file that you want to encrypt. Now choose the block cipher mode of encryption. ECB(Electronic Code Book) is the simplest encryption mode and does not require IV for encryption. The input plain text will be divided into blocks and each block will be encrypted with the key provided and hence identical plain text blocks are encrypted into identical cipher text blocks. CBC mode is highly recommended and it requires IV to make each message unique. If no IV is entered then default will be used here for CBC mode and that defaults to a zero based byte[16].
The AES algorithm has a 128-bit block size, regardless of whether you key length is 256, 192 or 128 bits. When a symmetric cipher mode requires an IV, the length of the IV must be equal to the block size of the cipher. Hence, you must always use an IV of 128 bits (16 bytes) with AES.
AES provides 128 bit, 192 bit and 256 bit of secret key size for encryption. Things to remember here is if you are selecting 128 bits for encryption, then the secret key must be of 16 bits long and 24 and 32 bits for 192 and 256 bits of key size. Now you can enter the secret key accordingly. By default, the encrypted text will be base64 encoded but you have options to select the output format as HEX too.
Similarly, for image and .txt file the encrypted form will be Base64 encoded.
Below is a screenshot that shows a sample usage of this online AES encryption tool.
AES decryption has also the same process. By default it assumes the entered text be in Base64. The input can be Base64 encoded or Hex encoded image and .txt file too. And the final decrypted output will be Base64 string. If the intended output is a plain-text then, it can be decoded to plain-text in-place.
But if the intended output is an image or .txt file then you can use this tool to convert the base64 encoded output to an image.

AES uses a key schedule to expand a short key into a number of separate round keys. The three AES variants have a different number of rounds. Each variant requires a separate 128-bit round key for each round plus one more.[note 1] The key schedule produces the needed round keys from the initial key.
Round constants[edit]
| i | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| rci | 01 | 02 | 04 | 08 | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 | 1B | 36 |
The round constant rconi for round i of the key expansion is the 32-bit word:
where rci is an eight-bit value defined as:

where is the bitwise XOR operator and constants such as 0016 and 1B16 are given in hexadecimal. Equivalently:
where the bits of rci are treated as the coefficients of an element of the finite field, so that e.g. represents the polynomial .
AES uses up to rcon10 for AES-128 (as 11 round keys are needed), up to rcon8 for AES-192, and up to rcon7 for AES-256.[note 2]
The key schedule[edit]
Define:
- N as the length of the key in 32-bit words: 4 words for AES-128, 6 words for AES-192, and 8 words for AES-256
- K0, K1, ... KN-1 as the 32-bit words of the original key
- R as the number of round keys needed: 11 round keys for AES-128, 13 keys for AES-192, and 15 keys for AES-256[note 3]
- W0, W1, ... W4R-1 as the 32-bit words of the expanded key[note 4]
Also define RotWord as a one-byte left circular shift:
and SubWord as an application of the AES S-box to each of the four bytes of the word:

Notes[edit]
Aes Key Generator Online
- ^Non-AES Rijndael variants require up to 256 bits of expanded key per round
- ^The Rijndael variants with larger block sizes use more of these constants, up to rcon29 for Rijndael with 128-bit keys and 256 bit blocks (needs 15 round keys of each 256 bit, which means 30 full rounds of key expansion, which means 29 calls to the key schedule core using the round constants). The remaining constants for i ≥ 11 are: 6C, D8, AB, 4D, 9A, 2F, 5E, BC, 63, C6, 97, 35, 6A, D4, B3, 7D, FA, EF and C5
- ^Other Rijndael variants require max(N, B) + 7 round keys, where B is the block size in words
- ^Other Rijndael variants require BR words of expanded key, where B is the block size in words
