Downloads

GpgFrontend is ready to install. Pick the option that works best for you below. For step-by-step setup help, see the Getting Started Guide.

Not sure which to pick? Choose the Stable Release. It’s the right choice for almost everyone.

Other options, for special cases only:

  • Older Version (v2.1.x): only if you specifically need the GnuPG-only build.
  • Nightly Builds: early test builds for testers and contributors, not for everyday use.
  • Mirror Site: the same files from another source, with no tracking or sign-in.

Most downloads come in two versions, and you need to pick one:

  • Installed: the normal choice. Your settings and keys are stored in your user folder.
  • Portable: everything stays in the program’s own folder, so you can run it from a USB drive and leave nothing behind.

The two versions do not share any data. If you switch from one to the other, you start with empty settings and no keys. So pick the one you want before you start. See Portable Mode.

For macOS there is only an installed version.

Use this table to find the right file for your system.
