About GPG Key Viewer
A PGP key's armored text block — the base64-looking content between -----BEGIN PGP ... KEY BLOCK----- markers — is unreadable at a glance, but its actual metadata (who it belongs to, when it was created, when it expires, its fingerprint) is often exactly what you need to confirm before trusting or using a key.
This tool parses a pasted PGP public or private key and displays its real structural details: key type, algorithm, key ID, full fingerprint, creation date, expiration date, and every user ID (name and email) associated with the key — all extracted using the same parsing logic real PGP software relies on.
For a private key, only structural metadata is shown — this never extracts, displays, or exposes the actual private key material, and nothing pasted here is ever used to sign, encrypt, or decrypt anything. It's purely a read-only inspection tool.
How it works
- Paste an armored PGP key. Paste a public or private key block, including the BEGIN/END markers.
- Review the key details. See algorithm, key ID, fingerprint, dates, and user IDs.
- Verify before trusting. Confirm the fingerprint and user IDs match what you expect before using a key.
