I want AES-256 to encypt my data. I have used this but don't know which encryption type is used. If i want to use AES-256 with this how can i do it.

This is a bit late, but the symmetric encryption uses AES-128 (see #135), which is the default in PostgreSQL.

There doesn't seem to be a way to use AES-256 or other cipher algorithm. It would be possible if django-pgcrypto-fields let you pass custom parameters (e.g. cipher-algo=aes256) for the pgp_sym_encrypt function, however at the moment that can't be done.
