Frequently asked questions

How do I generate an SSH key without ssh-keygen?

Choose Ed25519, ECDSA P-256, ECDSA P-384, RSA 2048 or RSA 4096 in the Generate tab. It creates a PKCS#8 PEM private key and an OpenSSH public key line for authorized_keys.

Can I inspect an existing SSH public key?

Yes. The Key Inspector tab parses an OpenSSH public key and shows its details and its MD5 and SHA-256 fingerprints.

Is Ed25519 supported?

Yes, as long as your browser's Web Crypto implementation supports it (recent Chrome and Firefox do). If not, the tool tells you to pick ECDSA or RSA instead.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your input is processed locally on your device and is never uploaded or stored on a server.
