What is JWT Decoder?
A JWT (JSON Web Token) is a base64url-encoded header.payload.signature triplet. This decoder splits and pretty-prints the header and payload locally so you can inspect claims and expiry.
How to use
- Paste your JWT.
- Read decoded header and payload.
- Check the exp / iat hints.
Frequently asked questions
Does this verify the JWT signature?
No. Signature verification needs the issuer's key. Decoding is local-only for safety.
Is my token uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding runs in your browser. Always rotate any token you paste into web tools.
What claims should I worry about?
exp (expiry), iat (issued at), nbf (not before), iss, aud and sub — they govern token validity and intent.
