JWT Decoder
Decode JWT header, payload, and signature instantly. Inspect claims and expiry without verification. Free browser-based tool.
How JWT Decoder Works
Splits the JWT at period separators, Base64URL-decodes the header and payload, and displays as formatted JSON. Converts exp, iat, and nbf timestamps to human-readable dates. Does not verify the signature.
This tool uses industry-standard formulas and calculations to provide accurate results instantly. All calculations happen in your browser — your data never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Whether you're optimizing marketing campaigns, managing finances, or processing data, this tool gives you the precision and speed you need to make informed decisions quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a JWT?
A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe token format consisting of three Base64URL-encoded sections separated by periods: Header (algorithm + token type), Payload (claims: user ID, roles, expiry), Signature (cryptographic verification). Used in OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and most modern authentication systems.
Can I verify the JWT signature here?
No — signature verification requires the secret key or public key used to sign the token, which should never be entered into an online tool. This decoder only reads the header and payload (the first two sections). Signature verification should happen server-side in your application.
Is it safe to paste a JWT here?
Only paste development or test tokens. Production JWTs contain real user data and are essentially authentication credentials — treat them with the same care as passwords. For production debugging, use your local environment or a private tool.
What do the standard JWT claims mean?
'sub' (subject): user identifier. 'exp' (expiry): Unix timestamp when the token expires. 'iat' (issued at): when the token was created. 'nbf' (not before): earliest valid time. 'iss' (issuer): who issued it. 'aud' (audience): intended recipient.
Is my data stored?
No. Decoding happens in your browser only.
