Online SSH Key Generator — Create RSA, ED25519 & ECDSA SSH Keys Securely

SSH Key Generator — Create RSA, ED25519 & ECDSA Keys Online, Free

This SSH key generator creates cryptographically secure RSA, ED25519, and ECDSA key pairs entirely inside your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your private key never leaves your device — no server uploads, no logging, no storage. Generated keys are compatible with OpenSSH, PuTTY PPK, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, AWS EC2, DigitalOcean, and any Linux server that supports standard SSH authentication.

ED25519 is the recommended algorithm for most modern use cases — it produces smaller keys, signs faster than RSA, and provides stronger security at equivalent key lengths. RSA at 4096 bits remains the most compatible choice for legacy systems and hardware security modules that do not yet support elliptic curve algorithms. ECDSA with P-256, P-384, or P-521 curves offers a strong middle ground — smaller than RSA with broader hardware support than ED25519.

Each generated keypair downloads in all standard formats simultaneously: OpenSSH private key (the format used by most Linux and macOS SSH clients), PuTTY PPK (for Windows users using PuTTY or WinSCP), and the public key ready to paste into GitHub SSH settings or append to a server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. FIPS 140-2 awareness mode restricts generation to NIST-approved algorithms for government and enterprise compliance environments.
