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.
