Is it safe to paste my private key here?

This tool only extracts structural metadata (algorithm, dates, key ID, fingerprint) — it never displays or exposes the actual private key material, and everything runs locally in your browser with nothing uploaded. That said, as a general precaution, avoid pasting private keys into any web tool unless you've verified exactly what it does.

What's the difference between a Key ID and a fingerprint?

The fingerprint is the full, unique identifier for a key (a long hex string), while the Key ID is a shorter, less unique identifier derived from the fingerprint's last portion — the fingerprint is what you should actually verify when confirming a key's authenticity.

What does "Expires: Never" mean?

It means the key was created without an expiration date, so it remains valid indefinitely unless explicitly revoked by its owner.

Is my key data sent anywhere?

No — parsing happens entirely in your browser using a standard OpenPGP parsing library. Nothing you paste is uploaded or stored.

Need to use PGP Key Viewer right now?

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.

Parses the key structure only — this never extracts or exposes private key material beyond metadata, and nothing is used to sign, encrypt, or decrypt anything.

About PGP Key Viewer

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.
