About PEM Viewer

PEM is a text wrapper (a "-----BEGIN…-----" header + Base64) around binary DER data. The PEM Viewer unwraps it and shows the ASN.1 structure inside.

It is useful for inspecting public/private keys and certificates in PEM format without command-line tools. The tool processes everything in the browser.

For raw DER input (Base64/hex without PEM headers), use the DER Viewer. For high-level certificate details, use the X.509 Certificate Viewer.

FAQ

Are my data or keys sent to a server?

No. PEM Viewer runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API and client-side libraries. Your data, passwords, and keys never leave your device.
