PGP Key Generator

Generate secure PGP key pairs directly in your browser with our free tool. Create public and private keys for encrypting messages and files with OpenPGP standards.

Generate PGP key pairs for secure communications. All processing happens in your browser — your keys never leave your device.

A strong passphrase will protect your private key if it's ever compromised.

Information

About PGP Encryption

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is an encryption program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, emails, files, and more.

Key Points About PGP:

  • Public Key: Share this freely with others so they can encrypt messages to you or verify your signatures.
  • Private Key: Never share this key. It's used to decrypt messages sent to you and to sign messages from you.
  • Passphrase: Adds an extra layer of security to your private key. Choose a strong, memorable passphrase.
  • Key Size: Larger keys (like 4096 bits) are more secure but may be slower for some operations.
  • Revocation Certificate: Allows you to invalidate your key pair if your private key is compromised.

Technical Information

Processing Method

Uses OpenPGP.js library for RFC 4880 compliant key generation. RSA algorithm with 2048 or 4096-bit key strength. All cryptographic operations in browser.

Requirements

Modern web browser with Web Crypto API support. JavaScript must be enabled.

Compatibility

Keys compatible with GPG, GnuPG, Mailvelope, ProtonMail, and all OpenPGP-compliant tools.

Performance

2048-bit keys generate in 1-3 seconds. 4096-bit keys take 5-10 seconds depending on device.

Security & Privacy

Data Handling

Keys generated entirely in your browser using Web Crypto API. Private keys NEVER leave your device or get sent to any server.

Privacy Protection

Zero data collection. No logging of keys, passphrases, or user information. Complete privacy guaranteed.

Security Recommendations

CRITICAL: Store your private key securely and never share it. Use a strong passphrase. Backup your keys in multiple secure locations. If private key is lost, encrypted data cannot be recovered.
