About this tool

Instantly decode a JSON Web Token (JWT) to carefully inspect its underlying Header (algorithm details, token type) and Payload (containing data or claims like sub, exp, and iat). Since we strictly only decode the base64 encoded strings locally, none of your secure tokens are sent over the network.

Note: We do not verify the signature. You should not paste strictly sensitive private keys online securely. Verify keys strictly on a backend environment where the key exists securely.

Also try our JSON Formatter, Base64 Encoder/Decoder, or Password Hash utilities.
