🔐 SQLCipherConverter

Convert Normal SQLite db to SQLCipher Encrypted Database ( Selected Tables only )

A simple cross-platform Python GUI tool to:

  • Open an existing SQLite database
  • Select specific tables/views
  • Export them into a new, SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite database

📦 Features

  • ✅ Open .db, .sqlite, or .sqlite3 files
  • ✅ List all tables and views
  • ✅ Select multiple items for export
  • ✅ Set a custom encryption password
  • ✅ Save as a new encrypted SQLite database using SQLCipher

🧰 Requirements

Before running the app, ensure you have the following installed:

  • Python 3.10+
  • tkinter (comes with standard Python installations)
  • pysqlcipher3 – for SQLCipher support

Install dependencies via pip:

pip install pysqlcipher3

⚠️ On Windows: You may need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools first.
See: Visual Studio C++ Build Tools

If you are unable to compile pysqlcipher3 yourself, download from https://pypi.org/project/sqlcipher3-wheels/#files

▶️ How to Run

  1. Clone or download the project: bash git clone https://github.com/yourusername/sqlciphercoverter.git cd sqlciphercoverter

  2. Run the app: bash python sqlciphercoverter.py

🖥️ Usage Guide

💬 Notes

  • The app copies both schema and data from selected tables.
  • Views are copied by schema only — no data is inserted.
  • Works best with smaller databases due to in-memory operations.
  • For large databases or production use, consider optimizing performance and adding progress indicators.
