Why encrypt files in the browser?

Emailing a sensitive document or storing it in the cloud exposes it to whoever runs the server. NearSeal encrypts files locally with AES-256-GCM and a key derived from your passphrase (PBKDF2), so only someone with the passphrase can open them. Nothing is uploaded and no account is required.
