# Oryseal help

## How do I encrypt a file?

Open `/seal`, choose the original file, select the available profile, and start encryption. Download both the `.oryseal` capsule and the `.orykey` decryption key, then store them separately.

## How do I decrypt a capsule?

Open `/open`, choose the capsule, and enter its matching key. The original file becomes available after the capsule checks finish successfully.

## Can Oryseal recover a lost key?

No. Keep a separate, tested copy of every key that must remain recoverable.

## What should I check when a capsule will not open?

Confirm that the capsule download is complete, use the matching key, and inspect the public structure on `/verify`. A damaged capsule or wrong key is rejected.
