# GpgFrontend
[](https://www.codacy.com/gh/saturneric/GpgFrontend/dashboard?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=saturneric/GpgFrontend&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade)
[](https://app.fossa.com/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fsaturneric%2FGpgFrontend?ref=badge_small)
GpgFrontend is a Powerful, Easy-to-Use, Compact, Cross-Platform, and
Installation-Free [OpenPGP](https://www.openpgp.org/)
Crypto Tool.
By using GpgFrontend, you can quickly encrypt and decrypt text or files. Or at the same time as the above operations,
you can add your own signature to let others know that this document or this paragraph of text was issued by you.
Please **take the initiative to protect privacy in your own hands**, instead of relying on servers and algorithms
provided by large companies.
**Notice:** GpgFrontend does not provide an embedded [gnupg](https://gnupg.org/) binary library and needs to be
installed by the user. **This is to ensure safety and avoid code or binary files involved in encryption and decryption
being implanted in the backdoor during the delivery process.**
If you find this tool useful and promising, welcome to encourage me through STAR this project. Thanks!

## Document
for more usage information, please read [document](https://gpgfrontend.pub/#/overview).
## Purpose
The GpgFrontend project inherit from a relatively mature but not maintained [gpg4usb](https://www.gpg4usb.org/) project.
It inherits the stable, easy-to-use, compact, and installation-free features of gpg4usb, and plans to support some new
features of OpenPGP based on it and continue to improve it.
GpgFrontend will add more functions in the future to improve the ease of use of GPG in end-to-end transmission. At the
same time, the addition of new functions does not affect the old basic functions. My personal strength is always
limited. GpgFrontend welcomes volunteers to join. You can use the GitHub platform to file an issue, or submit a pull
request.
The GpgFrontend project is as open source, and it also insists on using open source codes and libraries.
## Build
The tutorial for building the software will be released shortly. Before the relevant documents are released, you can
refer to the project-related Github Action file if you know it.
## Languages Support
The supported languages are listed here. Some languages use machine translation and have not been verified. If you want
to join translation and verification work, please refer to
the [translate the interface](https://gpgfrontend.pub/#/translate-interface).
Notice: The verification may not be complete and rigorous.
