How to manually Decrypt a file that was encrypted in UiPath

[travis.bass (T.Bass)]

Is there anyway to decrypt a file manually after encrypting it using the Encrypt File activity. I have a process where I’m trying to encrypt an excel file but the team we are preparing the file for would need a way to decrypt it.

Hi @travis.bass ,

Check out this video to know how to decrypt the file in UiPath:

How to Encrypt and Decrypt File in Uipath | RPA Uipath

To manually decrypt the file, you would need a tool that supports AES GCM decryption and the input given for it is the key which can be obtained from the properties of the encrypt file activity.

Hi @travis.bass

You can use the Decrypt File activity to decrypt the encrypted file.

However, if you want to decrypt the file manually, you will need to know the encryption algorithm and key that were used to encrypt the file. The Encrypt File activity in UiPath uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm by default, which is a widely-used and secure encryption algorithm.

Thanks!
