Everything you need to know about how we protect your data.
To send a password securely, paste your credential into our secure link generator, configure optional password protection or IP whitelists, and share the generated E2EE link. The password is encrypted directly in your browser using AES-256 and never touches our servers in plain text.
Yes, Ilusion.io is the premier secure alternative to Privnote. Unlike legacy tools that have security vulnerabilities and show invasive ads, Ilusion features zero-knowledge client-side encryption (AES-256-GCM), secure file sharing (up to 100MB), custom alias support, and zero third-party ads.
When you upload a file to create a one-time secret link, the file is encrypted client-side in the browser before being securely uploaded. The decryption key remains in the URL hash fragment and is never sent to our servers, keeping your files completely private.
No. Anyone with the secure one-time link can reveal the secret. Accounts are only needed if you want to use the Secure Inbox, get custom aliases, or integrate with our developer API.
No account required. Create your first secret in seconds.
