API Key Generator
Generate a cryptographically random hex string of a length you choose, suitable as an API key or secret.
How to Use API Key Generator
- 1Enter the desired byte length (default 32)
- 2Click Process
- 3Copy the generated key and store it securely
Frequently Asked Questions
It uses crypto.getRandomValues(), the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator — the same quality of randomness used for real security tokens, not Math.random().
Enter a number for the byte length (defaults to 32 bytes = 64 hex characters if left blank); the output hex string is always twice as many characters as the byte count.
Yes — all three share the identical cryptographically random hex generation logic; they're just named for different common use cases (API key, general token, cryptographic nonce).
No — it's generated entirely in your browser and never transmitted or logged; treat it as sensitive once generated and store it securely yourself.
