Key Capabilities

  • Decodes JWT header (algorithm, type) and payload claims
  • Human-readable expiration (exp) and issued-at (iat) timestamps
  • 100% private in-browser decoding with zero server transmission
  • Never asks for or transmits secret keys

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to paste confidential production JWT tokens?

Yes! Decoding runs 100% locally in your browser JavaScript; no tokens are ever sent across the network.

Does decoding verify the cryptographic signature?

This tool decodes token contents for inspection. Signature verification requires your private secret or public key.

How are exp and iat timestamps formatted?

Unix epoch timestamps are displayed with human-readable localized dates and relative expiry indicators.
