QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert FILEBOLT to AES?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .filebolt file made by Envault Filebolt is a container that already holds your original file encrypted with AES, so it is not converted to an .aes file. To do anything useful you open it in the Filebolt app with the password and get your original document back, not a separate .aes file.

Why convert FILEBOLT to AES?

People see the letters AES on Filebolt's marketing and assume the encrypted .filebolt can be re-saved as an .aes file. In reality .filebolt is Envault's own encrypted container and .aes is a different scheme (AES Crypt), so there is no meaningful path from one to the other. The realistic goal is to decrypt the .filebolt back to its original file.

How to convert FILEBOLT to AES

Envault Filebolt app

Open the .filebolt file in Filebolt and enter the password to decrypt it back to the original file such as .jpg or .xlsx. The app is now discontinued, so you need a copy already installed.

Re-encrypt with AES Crypt

If you actually want an .aes file, first decrypt in Filebolt, then encrypt the recovered original with AES Crypt to produce a true .aes file.

About these formats

.FILEBOLT Filebolt Encrypted File

A .filebolt file is a single file that has been encrypted with the Filebolt app from Envault Corporation, using AES encryption and protected by a password. It could hold anything the owner…

.AES AES Crypt Encrypted File

A .AES file is an AES-256 encrypted file created by AES Crypt (free, open source). It wraps any original file in strong encryption. To open it, install AES Crypt for your OS and enter the…

Quality & what to watch

  • A .filebolt file cannot be turned into an .aes file without first decrypting it, which requires the original password.
  • Filebolt has been discontinued on all platforms, so without an installed copy and the password the data is effectively unrecoverable.
  • There is no offline tool that reads .filebolt without the app; brute-forcing AES is not realistic.

Frequently asked questions

Is a .filebolt file the same as an AES file?
No. .filebolt is Envault's encrypted container; .aes (AES Crypt) is a different format. They both use AES internally but are not interchangeable.
Can I open a .filebolt without the app?
Not practically. Only the Envault Filebolt application can read the container, and it also needs the password.
Filebolt is discontinued - how do I recover my file?
You need an already-installed copy of Filebolt plus the original password. Without both, recovery options are extremely limited.
How do I get a real .aes file instead?
Decrypt the .filebolt in Filebolt first, then encrypt the recovered file with AES Crypt to create a genuine .aes file.
