PGP Sleutels Importeren

Importeer ASCII-gecodeerde of binaire PGP-sleutels voor encryptie en digitale handtekeningen.

Overview

PGP Import Keys lets you load OpenPGP public and private keys — from ASCII armored (.asc) text or binary .pgp/.gpg key files — directly into your browser session. The tool parses each key, displays the fingerprint and associated user IDs for verification, and makes the imported keys immediately available for use with the other PGP tools on this site. Because everything runs client-side via WebAssembly, your private keys are processed locally and never transmitted to any server. There is no account, no upload, and no trace left outside your browser.

Common Use Cases

  • Loading a contact's public key — Paste or upload an ASCII armored public key you received by email to prepare for encrypting a message to that contact.
  • Restoring a private key for decryption — Import your private key file into the browser session so you can decrypt messages without exposing the key to a remote server.
  • Bulk key import — Load a GPG keyring export containing multiple keys at once; the tool parses and imports every valid key found in the file.
  • Fingerprint verification — Inspect the fingerprint and user ID of any key before trusting it, using the displayed metadata to cross-check with the key owner.
  • Offline key management — Use the tool in airplane mode or an air-gapped environment since it processes keys entirely locally without any network calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What key formats are supported?
The tool supports standard OpenPGP formats including ASCII armored keys (-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY-----) and binary key files from GPG and other PGP software.

Are imported keys stored permanently?
No, keys are only stored in your browser session for convenience. They're cleared when you close the browser or clear site data.

Can I import multiple keys at once?
Yes, you can import key files or text containing multiple keys. The tool will parse and import all valid keys found.

Is it safe to import private keys?
Yes, all key processing happens locally in your browser. Private keys are never transmitted to external servers, but always keep backups of important keys.

How do I verify imported keys are correct?
The tool displays key fingerprints and user information. Always verify fingerprints with the key owner through a trusted channel to ensure authenticity.
