CSR Generator

If you still have the private key, you can generate a fresh CSR from it with OpenSSL. If the private key itself is gone, any certificate issued against it is unusable, and nobody can recover it, including the Certificate Authority. Generate a new key pair and CSR here, then ask your CA for a reissue.

Run it through our CSR Decoder. Decoding is not decryption: a CSR is not encrypted, it is Base64-encoded structured data, and the decoder parses that structure and prints the fields in readable form. Paste your CSR block in and you will see the Common Name, Organization, Country and key details exactly as the Certificate Authority will read them.

A few seconds. The request is built as soon as you submit the form and appears on this page. What takes time is validating the certificate itself, which happens after you place your order. Domain validated certificates are usually issued within minutes, while organization and extended validation can take several days.

Generate a new one. A CSR costs nothing and records nothing, so there is no penalty for discarding it. If you have already placed your order, most Certificate Authorities let you swap in a replacement CSR before validation finishes. After the certificate is issued, a wrong Common Name or Organization means a reissue, which most CAs provide free.

Yes. That is what this CSR generator is for. OpenSSL is the standard command-line way to create a certificate signing request, but it means installing the toolkit and getting the syntax right. This form does the same job in a browser. If you would rather work in a terminal, our OpenSSL guides cover the commands.

Copy Link

Yes. This is a free CSR generator with no account, no registration and no cap on how many requests you generate. You do not have to buy a certificate from SSL Dragon to use it, and the CSR works with any Certificate Authority.

Copy Link

Yes. This tool generates both and displays them on this page. Your key pair is created on SSL Dragon’s servers and delivered to your browser, so save both files right away and move the private key onto the server that will use it. If you need the key created on your own machine instead, generate the CSR locally with OpenSSL. Your private key should never be sent to a Certificate Authority.

In order to prevent the situation when you lose your CSR code and Private Key, we automatically send them to the email which you provided when using the SSL CSR Generator from above. Please check your email, and look for a message from SSL Dragon ([email protected]).

However, if you lost or cannot find the email message from us, and you did not save a copy of your CSR code and Private Key, then you will not be able to apply for an SSL Certificate, and you will not be able to install your SSL Certificate on your website and server. But, that is easy to solve by generating a new CSR code and a new Private Key by using the SSL CSR Generator from above.

Copy Link

Yes, you can look at what information your CSR includes, by using our CSR Decoder tool. It is doing a process which is opposite to encrypting it.

Copy Link

A CSR is issued immediately. It will be issued to you as soon as you fill in the SSL CSR Generator from above.
