What This Service Does
This tool generates self-signed SSL certificates for your local development environment. Whether you're building a web application, testing HTTPS functionality, or setting up a local staging environment, you can get a working SSL certificate in under a minute.
Simply enter your local domain name (like example.local), and we'll generate a
complete certificate package including the domain certificate, private key, and Certificate
Authority (CA) certificate. The certificates are valid for 5 years and include automatic
wildcard support for subdomains.
Who This Is For
This service is designed for developers who need SSL certificates for local development but don't want to spend time configuring OpenSSL or dealing with certificate generation commands. It's perfect if you:
- Are developing web applications that require HTTPS
- Need to test SSL/TLS functionality locally
- Want to set up local staging environments with secure connections
- Are working with APIs or services that require HTTPS
- Prefer a simple, web-based solution over command-line tools
How It Works
- Enter your domain — Type your local domain name (e.g.
example.local) - Download the package — Get a ZIP file containing your certificate, key, and CA certificate
- Install the CA certificate — Add the CA certificate to your system's Trusted Root Certificate Store to avoid browser warnings
- Configure your server — Copy the certificate and key files to your web server's SSL directory
- You're done! — Your local site will now work with HTTPS
Features
Quick & Simple
Generate certificates in seconds with just a domain name. No complex configuration needed.
Secure
Uses industry-standard 2048-bit RSA keys and SHA-256 encryption for your certificates.
Wildcard Support
Automatic wildcard certificate support means *.yourdomain.local works out of the box.
Long Validity
Certificates are valid for 5 years, so you won't need to regenerate them frequently.
Complete Package
Get everything you need: domain certificate, private key, CA certificate, and installation instructions.
Free
Completely free to use. No registration required. Limit of 5 certificates per hour per IP address.
These certificates are self-signed and intended only for local development and testing. They are not suitable for production environments or public-facing websites. For production use, you should obtain certificates from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) like Let's Encrypt.
What This Service Doesn't Do
- Generate certificates for production websites
- Provide certificates trusted by browsers without installing the CA certificate
- Replace commercial SSL certificates for public-facing sites
- Generate certificates for domains you don't control
