PEM Validator
Paste a PEM block to check whether it is valid — complete with the reason if it is invalid and a component breakdown if it is valid. Everything is processed on your device.
Everything runs in your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers.
Example
Example Input
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIID… -----END CERTIFICATE-----
Example Output
✓ VALID — CERTIFICATE label

About PEM Validator
PEM Validator checks a PEM block's wrapper: matching -----BEGIN <LABEL>----- and -----END <LABEL>----- markers, and valid Base64 content between them. It guesses the type from the label (certificate, private/public key, or CSR) and counts the decoded bytes.
It checks the wrapper & Base64, not parsing the inner ASN.1. To dissect certificate/key contents, use the PEM Viewer in the Cryptography category.
FAQ
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All validation runs in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on our servers — safe for sensitive data.
How is this validator different from a parser or formatter?
A validator answers one question: is this input correct/valid? It returns a valid/invalid badge with the reason. A parser breaks input into its components, and a formatter tidies its layout. Use a validator when you just need to confirm something is sound before using it.
