JWT Decoder Online Without Signup

Use this JWT decoder to inspect the header and payload of a three-part JSON Web Token locally in your browser. Decoding shows what a token says; it does not verify its signature or prove that its claims are trustworthy.

Signature not verified. Decoded claims do not prove identity, validity or authorization.

Decode is not verify

A JWT payload is encoded, not necessarily encrypted. Anyone can create a token with arbitrary claims. This tool does not check a signing key, issuer, audience or authorization rules. Encrypted five-part JWE tokens are not supported.

A few things worth knowing

Does an unexpired token mean it is valid?

No. A timestamp is only a claim. Signature, algorithm, issuer, audience and application checks are still needed.

Are tokens saved?

This tool does not persist tokens in browser storage or send them to a decoding service. Clear the field when you finish.
