Text Encoding Application

This is a Python-based desktop application that allows users to input text and encode it using various algorithms, such as Base64, MD5, SHA-256, and AES. The application features a graphical user interface (GUI) built using Tkinter.

Features

• User-Friendly GUI: Enter text and select encoding algorithms easily.
• Multiple Algorithms: Supports Base64 encoding, MD5 and SHA-256 hashing, and AES encryption.
• Copy to Clipboard: Encoded or hashed results can be copied directly to the clipboard.
• Error Handling: Includes basic error handling for invalid input.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• Virtual environment (recommended)

Steps

1. Clone the repository :

   git clone https://github.com/YashitaCodes/encode-me.git
   cd encode-me

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   • Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate

   • Mac/Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate

4. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run the application:

   python main.py

Usage

1. Launch the application by running main.py.
2. Enter the text you want to encode.
3. Select the encoding algorithm (Base64, MD5, SHA-256, AES).
4. Click "Encode" to get the result.
5. You can copy the encoded result to your clipboard using the "Copy to Clipboard" button.

Future Enhancements

• Add support for more encoding algorithms.
• Include options for file encoding.
• Save encoded results to a file.
