About PGP Decrypt and Verify
Input: the ASCII-armoured encrypted PGP message you want to verify. Arguments: the ASCII-armoured PGP public key of the signer, the ASCII-armoured private key of the recipient (and the private key password if necessary). This operation uses PGP to decrypt and verify an encrypted digital signature. Pretty Good Privacy is an encryption standard (OpenPGP) used for encrypting, decrypting, and signing messages. This function uses the Keybase implementation of PGP.

Before interpreting the result
Parsing a certificate shows its fields; it does not establish trust in the issuer or validate a certificate chain. Signing and verification require the algorithm and key format expected by the other party.
How to use this page
- Paste your input or open a local file.
- Adjust tool options if needed, then choose Run tool.
- Copy the result or download the original output bytes.
Inputs and results are not added to the public catalogue or saved in the URL. Processing happens in your browser; HTTP Request and DNS over HTTPS send the requests you explicitly run. Files up to 128 MiB can be opened; decompression and image tools may have smaller processing limits. Large results have a shortened preview. Text and HTML downloads use UTF-8; binary downloads preserve output bytes. Pasted text follows browser newline handling; open a file when exact input bytes matter.
