Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is a PFX file?

PFX (Personal Information Exchange) files, also known as PKCS#12 files, are binary format files that contain SSL/TLS certificates along with the private key. They are commonly used for importing/exporting certificates between systems.

What is PEM format?

PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) is a base64-encoded text format for certificates and keys. It's widely used in Unix/Linux systems and web servers like Apache and Nginx. PEM files typically have extensions like .pem, .crt, .key, or .cer.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All file processing happens in memory on our secure servers. Files are deleted immediately after conversion, and we don't store any uploaded files or passwords.

What if my PFX file has no password?

Leave the password field empty. The converter will handle both password-protected and unprotected PFX files.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Currently, the tool processes one file at a time for security and performance reasons. You can convert multiple files sequentially.
