JWT Decoder
Decode a JSON Web Token, locally.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded, logged, or tracked.
Paste a JWT to read its decoded header and payload as formatted JSON, with the expiry and issued-at times shown in plain language. Nothing leaves your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Does this verify the signature?
No — verifying a signature needs the secret or public key and should happen on your server. This tool decodes the readable header and payload (which are only Base64URL-encoded, not encrypted).
Is it safe to paste a real token here?
Decoding happens entirely in your browser and the token is never transmitted — but treat any live token as a secret and avoid pasting production credentials into any web tool out of habit.
