JWT Decoder

Advertisement

Decode the header and payload of a JSON Web Token directly in your browser. View claims such as the algorithm, subject, issuer, audience, issued time and expiration without uploading the token.

Signature not verified

This tool only decodes the token — it never verifies the signature. Always validate JWTs on a trusted server before acting on their contents.

Paste your JWT into the input field, then click Decode. Review the decoded header, payload and token details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token, or JWT, is a compact token format commonly used to transmit claims between systems and applications.

Does decoding a JWT verify its signature?

No. Decoding only reads the encoded header and payload. It does not verify the token signature.

Is it safe to paste a JWT into this tool?

The tool decodes the token locally in your browser and does not need to upload it. Never share sensitive tokens unnecessarily.

Can I see when a JWT expires?

Yes. If the token contains an expiration claim, the tool displays the expiration time and status.

Can this tool validate whether a JWT is authentic?

No. Signature verification requires the appropriate trusted key and should be performed by a trusted server or application.
