JWT Decoder

Dev Tools

Read the header and payload of a JSON Web Token, with its times explained. Decodes only — it does not verify the signature, and says so.

This decodes. It does not verify.

A JWT’s payload is base64, not encryption — anyone can read it, and anyone can write one. Nothing below tells you the token is genuine or unmodified. Only checking the signature does that, and it needs a secret or public key this page deliberately does not ask for: never paste a signing secret into a web page.

Verify on your server before trusting any claim you see here.

Token

Three parts separated by dots. A leading “Bearer ” is stripped for you. The token stays in this tab — it is never sent anywhere.

How it works

1Paste the token. A leading "Bearer " is stripped for you.
2Read the header, the payload and what each registered claim means.
3Check the times: an expired exp or a future nbf is called out.
4Nothing here proves the token is genuine. Verifying the signature needs a key, and you should never paste a signing secret into a web page — verify on your server.
