Convert PGP to ASC

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PGP to ASC?
Yes - PGP converts to ASC.

.pgp (binary OpenPGP) and .asc (ASCII-armored text) are the same data in different encodings. 'gpg --enarmor' / 'gpg --dearmor' (or re-export with --armor) convert between them. Decryption and verification work identically either way.

Also to ASC: SEC · SIG · HGT
