What is JWT Decoder?

A JWT decoder parses JSON Web Tokens to reveal their header, payload, and signature components in a readable format. JWTs are widely used for authentication and authorization in web applications, and inspecting their contents is essential for debugging login flows and API integrations. Our browser-based decoder uses native Base64 decoding to extract and display all claims including issuer, expiration, and custom data. Since the decoding happens entirely in your browser, your sensitive authentication tokens are never transmitted to any server.

How to Use JWT Decoder

  1. Paste your JWT token (starting with 'eyJ...') into the input field.
  2. Click 'Decode Token' to parse and display the header, payload, and signature sections.
  3. Review the decoded claims including expiration time, issuer, and any custom data in the payload.
  4. Check the token's expiration status to verify whether it is still valid.

Common Use Cases

  • Debugging authentication issues by inspecting JWT token claims and expiration times
  • Verifying the payload contents of tokens received from OAuth providers and APIs
  • Checking token expiration during development of login and session management systems
  • Inspecting custom claims added to JWTs for role-based access control

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe token format used for securely transmitting information between parties. It consists of three Base64-encoded parts: header, payload, and signature.

Does this verify the signature?

No. This tool only decodes the token for inspection. Signature verification requires the secret key or public key, which should never be shared in a browser tool.

Is it safe to paste my JWT here?

Yes. The token is decoded entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to any server. However, never share JWTs containing sensitive data in untrusted environments.

What are common JWT claims?

'iss' (issuer), 'sub' (subject), 'aud' (audience), 'exp' (expiration time), 'nbf' (not before), 'iat' (issued at), and 'jti' (JWT ID) are standard registered claims.
