What is a JWT Decoder?

A JSON Web Token (JWT) decoder is a developer tool that splits a JWT token into its three distinct parts: the Header (defining algorithm and token type), the Payload (containing the user claims, permissions, and expiration times), and the Signature (used to verify token integrity). It decodes these Base64Url-encoded segments into readable JSON.

Debugging JWT Claims

Paste your encoded token (usually starting with 'eyJ...') into the input. The decoder instantly parses and color-codes the Header, Payload, and Signature. It displays claims clearly, shows token issue/expiration times converted to your local timezone, and includes a countdown showing how much time is left before expiration.

FAQ

Can I edit tokens with this tool?

You can decode and view tokens. Modifying claims is possible, but changing claims invalidates the Signature. If you change a claim, the signature must be re-signed with the correct private/public key.

Is my token sent to any server?

No. Parsing is done fully in your browser via local JavaScript. Your session tokens, signatures, and private keys never leave your machine.
