Extract text from encrypted files (SSPQ)
To convert SSPQ files to another format, you need Seclore or Decryption Tools or other Encoded software.
To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted File" file type, you need software like Seclore or Decryption Tools or a similar tool.
The .SSPQ file extension is most notoriously associated with files that have been maliciously encrypted by the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. In corporate environments, it is also used for digitally rights-managed documents protected by Seclore Technology or SecureSafe, and occasionally represents a compressed image file from BeautyPlus.
These files present a massive challenge for standard users. If the file is ransomware-encrypted, the .SSPQ extension is appended to your original files (like JPG, EXE, or PDF), rendering them inaccessible without a private decryption key. The core disadvantage of this state is obvious: you cannot open, edit, or recover your data without specialized decryption tools. Similarly, Seclore protected files require enterprise authentication and their proprietary software agent to open, intentionally preventing unauthorized sharing or conversion. Files exceed standard accessibility parameters because they are locked down by military-grade encryption or strict digital rights management (DRM).
Because .SSPQ is an encrypted or strictly proprietary format, standard online converters fail completely. They lack the decryption keys, cryptographic algorithms, or authentication tokens needed to read the scrambled data. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible using convert.guru. While we cannot magically decrypt a ransomware-locked file without the key, our tool can inspect the file headers, identify whether it contains the STOP/Djvu signature or Seclore metadata, and extract any unencrypted plaintext segments. Identifying the exact underlying file type or ransomware variant is the critical first step before seeking a specialized decryption utility.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SSPQ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

If you want to convert SSPQ file to , you can use Seclore or Decryption Tools or similar software from the "Ransomware Encryption or File Protection" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to SSPQ, try Seclore or Decryption Tools or another comparable tool in the "Ransomware Encryption or File Protection" 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 SSPQ converter.
