Extension summary

🟢 A simple end-to-end encryption to secure your emails and attachments on Google, including Google Workspace, Business, and Enterprise using OpenPGP.

🟢 FlowCrypt lets you use PGP encryption by generating a private and public key. It uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the email, and only the recipient’s private key can decrypt the message and reveal its content.

🟢 Adds a Secure Compose button to Gmail, allowing you to send private PGP-encrypted emails when you choose to.

🟢 We update the extension regularly (see the "Updated" field to the right).

FlowCrypt allows you to: ✔ Set up the extension in just a few clicks. ✔ Generate private keys using the ECC and RSA (up to 4096-bit) algorithms. ✔ Use FlowCrypt’s own Attester public key server. ✔ Send and receive encrypted emails and attachments (up to 25MB, with previewing functionality) to anyone. ✔ Send and receive encrypted emails directly or through Encrypted Contact Page. ✔ Send password-protected emails to the recipient who doesn’t have any OpenPGP software (as well as receive such emails).

FlowCrypt Browser Extension is not approved by Advanced Protection! So Google users with Advanced Protection can't use it.
