SSH Key Pair Generator

Algorithm

Keys are generated locally with Web Crypto (node-forge fallback). Private keys never leave your browser.

Need to inspect an existing token? Try the JWT Decoder.

About this tool

SSH keys authenticate Git pushes, server logins and CI deploys. ssh-keygen works locally, but browser-based generation helps when you cannot run CLI tools or need a quick Ed25519 key with fingerprint.

Generates OpenSSH public keys, PEM private keys and SHA256 fingerprints using Web Crypto with node-forge fallback. Private keys never leave your browser.

How to use

  1. Algorithm

    Choose Ed25519 (default), ECDSA P-256 or RSA.

  2. Comment

    Set an email or host comment appended to the public key.

  3. Copy keys

    Copy public key to Git/host and store private PEM securely.
