Convert Your PEM Files to CER/CRT

Convert PEM-encoded files to .cer or .crt format using our client-side tool. This certificate converter changes your files in the browser, so your files never get stored on our server.

Note: This tool only changes the file extension, not its encoding format. To change the file encoding from PEM to DER, you must use the OpenSSL/Bash command (scroll down for details).

Use Our Browser-Based Certificate Converter

⚠️ Use leaf or intermediate certificates only. Do not include root CA certificates or keys in input .pem file.

OpenSSL/Bash (Linux/Unix): Convert PEM to CER/CRT

Use the terminal command below to convert your .pem file to .crt format. For a DER-encoded .crt output file, select the DER format (binary) box.

openssl x509 -outform PEM -in certificate.pem -out certificate.crt

Reminder: Ensure you replace the placeholder values with your custom file names + extensions.
