Is it safe to generate SSH keys here?

Yes, absolutely. This tool uses client-side JavaScript (node-forge) to generate keys entirely within your browser. Your private key is never sent to any server.

What formats are supported?

Currently, we support RSA keys (2048 and 4096 bits) in the standard OpenSSH format (PEM).

How do I use these keys?

Copy the public key to your server's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file. Save the private key to your local machine (e.g., `~/.ssh/id_rsa`) and set permissions to 600 (`chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa`).

Can I generate Ed25519 keys?

Currently, only RSA is supported due to browser library limitations with OpenSSH formatting. We are working on adding Ed25519 support.

What is an SSH Key Generator?

An SSH Key Generator is a tool that creates a pair of cryptographic keys: a public key and a private key. These keys are used to authenticate securely with remote servers (like via SSH) without using a password. The public key is placed on the server, while the private key remains on your computer.
