Certificate & CSR decoder

Paste a PEM certificate, certificate chain or CSR (or a bare base64/hex DER blob), or choose a file. Everything is decoded locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored, and the page has no analytics.

FAQ

How do I decode a PEM certificate online?

Paste the text between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE above and press Decode. You get the subject, issuer, SANs, validity dates, key type and size, and SHA-1/SHA-256 fingerprints.

Is it safe to paste a certificate here?

Decoding happens in JavaScript in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Certificates are public data anyway, but never paste private keys into any website.

Can it decode a CSR or a certificate chain?

Yes: CSRs, bundles with several certificates, and DER files are all supported. It also converts between PEM and DER.
