How to import ed25519 keys for use in Putty (on Windows)

Go to your ssh key dir and print the contents of the private key file (id_ed25519) in my case.

Create a new text file and paste the contents of your private key file inside and save.

Open PuTTY Key Generator

Click File → Load private key

Select all files from file extensions

Open text file containing your key

The key is imported now.

Now, you can save your private key in PuTTY’s weird format.

Click on ‘Save private key’
