A little googling finds this

Hope it helps

edit: added fixed commands:

openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nocerts -out filename.key

openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out filename.crt

OpenSSL can be downloaded here:

Hmm, that wasn't the exact answer but I think I've worked it out anyway. – Fela Maslen Aug 02 '12 at 23:38

And if you want to save the key without a passphrase, add `-nodes` (no DES) before the `-out`. – jcaron Oct 23 '18 at 10:45
