Extract text from ENCRYPTED files
To convert your ENCRYPTED file to another format, you need OpenSSL or other Encoded software.
To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted Archive" file type, you need software like OpenSSL or a similar tool.
The .encrypted file extension represents a generic locked container rather than a single standardized format. Users most frequently encounter this file in three distinct scenarios: 1) KinitoPET Game Assets: In the psychological horror game KinitoPET, players collect 5 specific .encrypted files (e.g., credentials.encrypted) as clues. These are not malicious but require in-game actions to 'decipher.' 2) Security Software: Tools like OpenSSL or TopStudio EasyCrypto generate these files to protect sensitive data (e.g., DOCX or JPG files) using algorithms like AES or Ogg Vorbis encryption. 3) Ransomware: Malware strains like Crypren or Babuk rename victim files to .encrypted, demanding payment for the decryption key.
Because the file's content is scrambled, standard viewers cannot open it directly. Users typically need to convert (decrypt) the file back to its original format (e.g., PDF, PNG, MP3) using the original key, password, or game mechanic. Without the correct decryption method, the data remains inaccessible binary noise.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ENCRYPTED file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, SCE_SDMEMORY, CRYPT, JPG, BIN, 7Z, TXT, ENC, DOC, DAT, ZIP, CRYPT14 and RPMSG files.
If you want to convert ENCRYPTED file to DECRYPT, PDF, BASE64, HEX, BIN, ENC, CRYPT, AES, DES, RSA, PGP or GPG, you can use OpenSSL or similar software from the "Encrypted Data Container" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert CER, BIN, PEM, DER, KEY, P7S, PFX, ENC, P12, BASE64, P7B or HEX files to ENCRYPTED, try OpenSSL or another comparable tool in the "Encrypted Data Container" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ENCRYPTED converter.
