How to Use RSA Key Generator

What is RSA Key Generator?

RSA Key Generator creates RSA public/private key pairs of 2048, 3072, or 4096 bits directly in your browser using the Web Crypto API, producing keys in standard PEM format ready for immediate use. The public key is safe to share freely while the private key must be kept secret; together they enable asymmetric encryption, digital signatures, and secure key exchange. A 2048-bit key meets current security standards for most applications, while 4096-bit keys provide a larger security margin for long-lived certificates and highly sensitive data. Key generation happens entirely client-side so your private key is never transmitted to any server.

Features

How do I use RSA Key Generator?

Select your desired key size from the key size dropdown: 2048 bits for standard security, 3072 bits for a balanced upgrade, or 4096 bits for maximum security at the cost of slower operations. Choose the intended key usage, either RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 for digital signatures or RSA-OAEP for encryption, if the tool provides this option. Click Generate to create the key pair. Both the public and private keys are displayed in PEM format in separate panels. Copy each key individually and store the private key in a secure key management system immediately.
