Calculate SHA-256 fingerprints from OpenSSH public keys.

Prepare the right input

Paste an OpenSSH public-key line.

Review the wire-format algorithm and fingerprint.

Review before using the result

Copy or export the public-key metadata.

Public keys only. Validates basic SSH field structure, not owner identity, server trust or full curve-point validity. Does not connect to SSH servers.

Privacy and trust boundaries

Inputs remain in this browser. No online reputation, account, DNS or remote key lookup is performed. A static inspection is not a security certification.

Use the sample to learn the workflow. Clear sensitive input after use; private exports and clipboard contents require careful handling.
