What Is CSR Generation?

A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is the file you submit to a Certificate Authority to obtain an SSL certificate — it contains your public key and organization details, which the CA uses to issue and sign your certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)?
A CSR is a block of encoded text that you send to a Certificate Authority (CA) when applying for an SSL/TLS certificate. It contains your public key and organization information. The CA uses this to verify your identity and issue your SSL certificate.
Can I generate a CSR again using the same details?
Yes, you can generate a new CSR any time using the same details. However, each new CSR generates a new private key. Make sure to use the matching private key with the certificate issued for that specific CSR.
What is a Private Key?
The private key is the secret cryptographic key that pairs with your SSL certificate's public key. You must install it on your server alongside the issued certificate. Never share it with anyone — if compromised, revoke and reissue your certificate immediately.
Is it safe to use this CSR Generator?
Yes. Your private key is generated server-side and sent to your browser over HTTPS — it is never logged or stored. We recommend downloading it immediately and deleting it from your browser history if needed.
Which key type should I choose?
RSA 2048 is the industry standard and works everywhere. RSA 4096 is stronger but slower. ECC P-256 offers equivalent security to RSA 3072 with much smaller key size and faster performance — recommended for modern servers.
Where is my data stored?
We do not store your CSR, private key, or any form data you enter. All generated data is discarded immediately after your browser receives it. Your information stays private.
