The CGP file is a .CGP file format used by PixelCryptor. It is a binary file that contains data in an encrypted format. The CGP file is designed to safely store sensitive information which is secured using user-defined password-based authentication. Once created, the file can be further encrypted using strong cryptographic algorithms such as AES, SHA-256, and RSA.
Encryption & Security Features
The encryption featured in PixelCryptor supports 256-bit AES encryption and provides advanced security features such as public key encryption, key escrow and audit logs. It also supports the Digital Signature Standard (DSS) to ensure authenticity of the data stored in the CGP files. To prevent unauthorized access, the encrypted files are stored in the secure cloud storage platform provided by PixelCryptor. The software also provides auditing functions to help the user track who has accessed certain files and when.

Files with similar extensions include .CRYPT, .ENC, .GPG, and .PGP, all used for storing encrypted data.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CGP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CGP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CGP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CGP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CGP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CGP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CGP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CGP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CGP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CGP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
