CLI command reference

Use this command locally when you need native OpenSSH private key output.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519

The private key only appears in this browser session. Use the command below locally when you need native OpenSSH private key output.

How to Use

  1. Choose an algorithm. Ed25519 is recommended for most new keys.
  2. Enter an optional comment, such as [email protected], to identify the key later.
  3. Click "Use example comment" to generate a real key pair with the sample comment, or click "Generate key" with your current settings.
  4. Copy the Public Key to GitHub, a server console, or ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
  5. Download and protect the Private Key. This tool exports PKCS#8 PEM; if your SSH client requires native OpenSSH private key format, use the displayed ssh-keygen command locally and run chmod 600 on the saved key.

Core Features

  • 100% client-side security: Key pairs are generated with the browser Web Crypto API on your device, and private keys are never uploaded.
  • Ed25519 and RSA support: Ed25519 is the default recommendation, with RSA-2048 and RSA-4096 available for legacy compatibility.
  • Separate copy and downloads: Copy the public key and private key independently, or download .pub and .pem files without mixing them up.
  • Comment tagging: Add an email, device name, or deployment label so GitHub, servers, and authorized_keys entries are easier to recognize.
  • CLI command reference: See the matching ssh-keygen command when you need native OpenSSH private key output from your own terminal.

Calculation Logic

This tool uses the browser Web Crypto API to generate key material locally in memory. The public key is encoded in the OpenSSH format commonly used by authorized_keys; the private key is exported as PKCS#8 PEM for local download, backup, or tools that accept that format.

No backend service is required, and the comment, public key, or private key is not sent to a server. Refreshing the page clears the private key from the current browser session. Ed25519 availability depends on your browser's Web Crypto support; if it is unavailable, or if you need native OpenSSH private key output, choose RSA or run the displayed ssh-keygen command in a local terminal.

FAQ

Is it safe to generate an SSH key online?

It depends on the architecture. This tool is 100% client-side: keys are generated in your browser and are not uploaded to or stored by EasyTools servers.

What is the difference between RSA and Ed25519?

Ed25519 keys are shorter, fast to generate, and recommended for modern SSH usage. RSA is widely compatible with older systems; choose RSA-4096 when you need a stronger RSA option.

Does this tool store my private key?

No. The private key only exists in the current page state and is not saved by this site after refresh or close.

How do I use the generated SSH key?

Add the Public Key to GitHub SSH keys, your cloud server console, or ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Store the Private Key only on your own device; if your SSH client does not accept PKCS#8 PEM, use the displayed ssh-keygen command to create native OpenSSH output locally.

Can I generate an SSH key for GitHub?

Yes. Choose Ed25519, add your email as the comment, generate the pair, then copy the Public Key to GitHub's SSH keys page.
