Frequently Asked Questions

A compact token with three Base64-encoded parts (header.payload.signature) separated by dots. Used everywhere for API auth.

No, this only decodes. Verification needs the secret/public key. This shows you what's inside without any key.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing gets sent anywhere. Just don't share tokens with sensitive data publicly.

Standard claim names in the JWT spec: iss (issuer), sub (subject), aud (audience), exp (expiration), nbf (not before), iat (issued at), jti (JWT ID).

What is JWT Decoder?

Got a JWT token from an API and wondering what's inside? Paste it here and instantly see the header, payload, and claims decoded in a readable format. It also tells you right away if the token is expired.

Why Use This JWT Decoder?

Color-coded sections (header blue, payload green, signature red) make it easy to read. Auto-detects expiry, shows all registered claims with actual dates instead of Unix timestamps. Everything stays in your browser - your tokens never leave your device.
