OpenSSH Public Key Inspector

Parse an OpenSSH public key — type, fingerprints, comment.

About this tool

Paste one public key or a full authorized_keys file. Each line is parsed with optional options (from=, command=, no-port-forwarding, …). See SHA256 and MD5 fingerprints, detect duplicates, and compare with ssh-keygen or GitHub deploy keys.

What you get

  • Single key or full authorized_keys (multi-line)
  • Key type, options, SHA256 and MD5 fingerprints
  • Duplicate fingerprint detection
  • Per-key copy — SHA256 or full line

How to use

Paste a .pub line or entire authorized_keys. Skipped comments and errors are reported per line. Use Copy all SHA256 for bulk comparison with server configs.
