In this article, we will see how we can convert pem to ppk easily with few clicks. Whenever we create an AWS EC2 machine and want to access it by putty from a windows laptop or desktop. We need to convert our pem key to ppk key so that putty can use that private key and allow it to connect. There many ways to convert pem to ppk. I really like PuTTyGen because it’s easy and straight forward.
