About JWT Decoder

This free online tool decodes JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and displays their header, payload, and signature components. All decoding is done in your browser - your tokens never leave your computer.

Features

  • Complete JWT Decoding: Decode header, payload, and signature components
  • Token Validation: Check if JWT format is valid and detect expired tokens
  • Timestamp Conversion: Automatically convert Unix timestamps to readable dates
  • Copy & Download: Copy individual components or download complete decoded data
  • File Upload: Upload JWT tokens from files
  • Auto-decode: Automatically decode tokens as you type
  • Privacy First: All processing happens locally in your browser

JWT Components

  • Header: Contains metadata about the token, including the signing algorithm
  • Payload: Contains the claims (user data, permissions, expiration, etc.)
  • Signature: Used to verify the token hasn't been tampered with

Common JWT Claims

  • iss (Issuer): Who issued the token
  • sub (Subject): Who the token is about
  • aud (Audience): Who the token is intended for
  • exp (Expiration): When the token expires
  • iat (Issued At): When the token was issued
  • nbf (Not Before): When the token becomes valid

Security Note

This tool only decodes JWT tokens - it does not verify signatures. Never paste production tokens containing sensitive information into online tools. For signature verification, use server-side validation with the appropriate secret key.
