Privacy

JWTs often contain identifying claims. This decoder keeps those claims local and does not validate tokens over the network.

Quick tips

  • Use this as a decoder, not a verifier.
  • Check exp and iat claims when debugging sessions.
  • Do not paste decoded secrets into public logs.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste a JWT.
  2. Review the decoded header and payload.
  3. Check timestamps and claims before copying anything.

Common questions

Does this verify JWT signatures?

No. It decodes token contents locally but does not verify signatures against keys.

Why decode JWTs locally?

It avoids sending private claims or session data to a third-party decoder.
