About Key Generator

Our free Key Generator creates RSA (2048-8192 bit), ECDSA (P-256, P-384, P-521), and Ed25519 key pairs. Generate secure private keys for SSL certificates, code signing, or any cryptographic purpose. All keys are generated server-side using cryptographically secure random number generators.

How to Use

  1. 1Select your key type (RSA, ECDSA, or Ed25519).
  2. 2Choose the key size or curve.
  3. 3Click "Generate Key" and copy or download the private key.

Use Cases

  • Generate RSA keys for traditional SSL certificates
  • Create ECDSA keys for faster TLS handshakes
  • Generate Ed25519 keys for modern applications
  • Create key pairs for code signing

Technical Details

RSA Key Sizes

  • 2048, 4096, 8192 bits

ECDSA Curves

  • P-256 (secp256r1), P-384 (secp384r1), P-521 (secp521r1)
  • Ed25519: 256 bits (fixed)

Tips & Best Practices

  • ECDSA keys are 2-3x faster than RSA and recommended for modern deployments
  • Never share your private key — it should remain secret
  • Back up your private key securely — losing it means you can't renew your certificate

Frequently Asked Questions

RSA is most compatible. ECDSA offers better performance. Ed25519 is fastest but may not be supported by all CAs.
Yes, 2048-bit RSA is considered secure for most use cases. Use 4096-bit for high-security applications.
Technically yes, but it's best practice to use unique keys for each certificate.
