Two minutes from picking a file in iOS Files or your Android file manager to a sealed
.pgp output you can send through any channel. Works for documents, photos,
archives — any file.
Open PGPony and check that the recipient\'s public key is in your keyring. If not, import it first — from a key file they\'ve sent you, from a keyserver lookup, or however you have their key available.
On iOS, open Files and navigate to where the file lives (On My iPhone, iCloud Drive, a connected cloud service). On Android, open your file manager (Google Files, your OEM\'s Files app, Solid Explorer, etc.) and find the file.
iOS: tap the Share button (square with up-arrow), find PGPony in the app list, tap it.
Android: tap the Share action and select PGPony from the share intent picker.
PGPony opens with the file attached as input.
PGPony opens the Encrypt tab with the file pre-loaded in File mode (the Mode picker at the top shows Text / File / Sign). Confirm File mode is selected. If you want a signature so the recipient can verify the file came from you, leave the Sign message toggle on (default). Signing requires unlocking your secret key, so you'll be prompted for biometric or passphrase.
Tap into Select Recipients and choose the public key(s) to encrypt to. You can select multiple recipients — each will be able to decrypt independently with their own secret key.
You can also include your own key as a recipient. Useful if you want to be able to decrypt the file yourself later. Without including your own key, encrypting only to someone else means even you can't read your own output afterward.
Tap Sign & Encrypt (or Encrypt Without Signing if you want
confidentiality only — no proof of origin). PGPony reads the file, encrypts it under each
recipient's public key, optionally signs with your secret key, and writes the result as a
new file with .pgp appended (e.g. report.pdf →
report.pdf.pgp).
The output is a normal file from your OS's perspective. Attach to email, upload to cloud storage, send via any messenger, hand-deliver on a USB stick — the ciphertext is portable across any channel.
filename.ext.pgp file exists alongside (or in place of) the original.Practically up to several hundred megabytes — the limit is device memory and storage. For multi-gigabyte backups, desktop GnuPG is more efficient.
Yes. Select multiple keys from your keyring. The .pgp output is decryptable by any of the chosen recipients with their own secret key.
Yes — choose your own public key as a recipient. Common for encrypted personal archives or backups.
One file at a time. For a folder, zip or tar it first (typically on desktop), then encrypt the archive.
Yes if authenticity matters — combine encryption and signing in the same step. The recipient gets both confidentiality and proof of origin.
