API key generator

Generate API keys with a custom prefix (sk_live_, pk_…), cryptographically secure.

🔒 100% client-side — no data sent

Generate an API key with a customizable prefix (sk_live_, pk_, api_...) for your services and integrations. Everything is generated with crypto.getRandomValues, 100% in your browser: your key is never sent or stored anywhere else.

What is it for?

  • Issue API keys for your customers or partners.
  • Reproduce the Stripe-style sk_live_ / pk_ format.
  • Create access tokens for your backend or webhooks.
  • Separate test and production keys by prefix.

FAQ

What is an API key prefix for?

It identifies the key's type and environment at a glance (sk_live_, pk_test_) and helps detect leaks.

How do I store an API key securely?

Never commit it: keep it in a secrets manager or a .env, and store only a hash on the server side.

What's the difference between a public and a secret key?

The public key (pk_) can be exposed on the client, the secret key (sk_) must stay strictly server-side.

Is this key truly random?

Yes, it's produced by crypto.getRandomValues in your browser, with no network call.
