# Open a file

To open a Seald file, it is first necessary to save it on the computer.

# Double-click to open

TIP

If this does not work, try to manually select a browser to open the file

Then click on "Preview the file", and you can go to the next page of this guide.

In cases where you are unable to open the file in your browser, or you do not want to open a .shtml file, it is possible to go directly to https://decrypt.seald.io/decrypt/ (opens new window)**.

Once on the Seald Secure Reader opened in the browser, simply drag and drop the file you want to decrypt.
