About PGP files
A .PGP file is primarily an encrypted data file, digital signature, or cryptographic key generated using the Pretty Good Privacy standard. Users typically rely on these files to securely transmit confidential emails, protect sensitive documents, and verify sender authenticity. In a completely different context, a .PGP file can also be an AutoCAD Program Parameters file, which stores customized keyboard shortcuts in plain text. Managing encrypted .PGP files is notoriously frustrating for average users. The format is heavily proprietary in its legacy forms and requires installing specialized keyring software like GnuPG or premium enterprise tools. You must juggle public keys, private keys, and passphrases just to read a simple message. Without the correct decryption keys, the file is a useless block of scrambled data. Web browsers and standard operating systems cannot open them natively. To make the contents usable, you must decrypt and convert the file. For text payloads, convert to TXT or PDF for universal reading and printing. If the .PGP contains multiple documents, extract it to a ZIP archive. If you are dealing with an AutoCAD shortcut file, convert it to CSV for easy spreadsheet editing. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing complex cryptographic software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PGP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The PGP Converter Story
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 PGP converter.
