JWT decoder

Paste a JSON Web Token to inspect its header and payload. Decoding happens in your browser — your token is never uploaded.

Examples

Frequently asked questions

Does this verify the JWT signature?

No. It decodes and displays the header and payload for inspection; it does not verify the signature, so never trust a token based on this alone.

Is my token sent to a server?

No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser.

What do iat and exp mean?

iat is the issued-at time and exp is the expiry, both Unix timestamps. The tool shows them as readable dates and whether the token has expired.
