PGP Decrypt File

Decrypt PGP/GPG encrypted files using your private key to access secure file content.

How It Works

1

Import Your Private Key

Upload or paste your PGP private key and enter the passphrase if your key is password-protected.

2

Upload Encrypted File

Select the PGP encrypted file you want to decrypt. The file should have been encrypted with your public key.

3

Decrypt and Download

The tool decrypts the file using your private key and provides the original file for download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I decrypt this file?

Ensure you're using the correct private key that corresponds to the public key used for encryption. Also verify your passphrase is correct and the file isn't corrupted.

Will the decrypted file be identical to the original?

Yes, PGP file decryption restores the exact original file with the same content, format, and properties as before encryption.

Can I decrypt files encrypted by others?

Only if the file was encrypted with your public key. You cannot decrypt files encrypted for other recipients unless you have their private key.

Is file decryption secure in the browser?

Yes, all decryption happens locally on your device. Your private key, passphrase, and decrypted files are never transmitted to external servers.

What if the encrypted file is very large?

Large file decryption may take time and use significant browser memory. For very large files, consider using desktop PGP software for better performance.
