FileShot.io — Zero-Knowledge File Sharing with AES-256-GCM

[FileShot]

Hello! I'd like to suggest FileShot.io — a practical, real-world application of browser-side AES-256-GCM encryption.

What it does:

• Encrypts files entirely in the browser using the Web Crypto API (SubtleCrypto / AES-256-GCM) before upload
• Decryption key is embedded only in the URL fragment — never transmitted to the server
• Implements zero-knowledge architecture for file sharing

Why it fits:

• Demonstrates real-world use of AES-256-GCM with IV generation, key derivation
• Open source MIT — the encryption implementation is readable and auditable
• Free tier, no account needed
