-⚠ The private keys provide by GitHub are in `PKCS#1` format, but the WebCrypto API only supports `PKCS#8`. And neither Node nor the WEbCrypto API supports private keys in the `OpenSSH` format. You can see the difference in the first line, `PKCS#1` format starts with `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----` while `PKCS#8` starts with `-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----`, and `OpenSSH` starts with `-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----`.
-
-You can convert `PKCS#1` to `PKCS#8` using `oppenssl`:
-
-```
-openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in private-key.pem -out private-key-pkcs8.key
-```
-
-You can convert `OpenSSH` to `PKCS#8` using `ssh-keygen`:
-
-```
-cp private-key.pem private-key-pkcs8.key && ssh-keygen -m PKCS8  -N "" -f private-key-pkcs8.key
-```
-
-It's also possible to convert the formats with JavaScript, e.g. using [node-rsa](https://github.com/rzcoder/node-rsa), but it turns a 4kb to a 200kb+ built. I'm looking for help to create a minimal `PKCS#1` to `PKCS#8` convert library that I can recommend people to use before passing the private key to `githubAppJwt`. Please create an issue if you'd like to help. The same to convert `OpenSSH` to `PKCS#8`.
-
-You can convert `PKCS#1` to `PKCS#8` in Node.js using the built-in `crypto` module:
-
-```js
-const crypto = require("crypto");
-const PRIVATE_KEY = `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-...
------END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----`;
-
-const privateKeyPkcs8 = crypto.createPrivateKey(PRIVATE_KEY).export({
-  type: "pkcs8",
-  format: "pem",
-});
-```
-
-When using a node, a conversion is not necessary, the implementation is agnostic to either `PKCS` format.
-
-However, if you got the error `Private Key is in PKCS#1 format, but only PKCS#8 is supported.` inside Node.js, it is possible that your bundler or your app framework incorrectly bundled the web version instead of the node version ([example](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/9959)).

+## About Private Key formats
+
+When downloading a `private-key.pem` file from GitHub, the format is in `PKCS#1` format. Unfortunately, the WebCrypto API only supports `PKCS#8`.
+
+If you use 1Password to store a private key as an SSH key, it will be transformed to the `OpenSSH` format, which is also not supported by WebCrypto.
+
+You can identify the format based on the the first line
+
+| First Line                            | Format  |
+| ------------------------------------- | ------- |
+| `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----`     | PKCS#1  |
+| `-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----`         | PKCS#8  |
+| `-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----` | OpenSSH |
+
+### Converting `PKCS#1` to `PKCS#8`
+
+If you use Node.js, you can convert the format before passing it to `universal-github-app-jwt`:
+
+```js
+import crypto from "node:crypto";
+import githubAppJwt from "universal-github-app-jwt";
+
+const privateKeyPkcs8 = crypto.createPrivateKey(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY).export({
+  type: "pkcs8",
+  format: "pem",
+}
+
+const { token, appId, expiration } = await githubAppJwt({
+  id: process.env.APP_ID,
+  privateKey: privateKeyPkcs8,
+});
+```
+
+But we recommend to convert the format using `openssl` before storing it as environment variable.
+
+```
+openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in private-key.pem -out private-key-pkcs8.key
+```
+
+### Converting `OpenSSH` to `PKCS#8`
+
+```
+cp private-key.pem private-key-pkcs8.key && ssh-keygen -m PKCS8  -N "" -f private-key-pkcs8.key
+```
+
+I'm looking for help to create a minimal `OpenSSH` to `PKCS` convert library that I can recommend people to use before passing the private key to `githubAppJwt`. Please create an issue if you'd like to help.
