JWT Token Decoder

Quickly inspect authentication tokens, user claims, roles, and expiration times.

Back to all tools

Security Notice: This tool decodes and inspects JWT structure entirely in your browser. It does not verify cryptographic signatures or authenticate private keys. Your tokens are never sent to any server.

HEADER (Algorithm & Type)
{
  "alg": "HS256",
  "typ": "JWT"
}
PAYLOAD (Data & Claims)
{
  "sub": "1234567890",
  "name": "Alice Dev",
  "iat": 1516239022
}

How it works

Step 01

Paste Token

Paste an encoded JWT string (header.payload.signature).

Step 02

Inspect Claims

Review the formatted header and payload JSON.

Step 03

Check Expiry

Verify whether the token is currently active or expired.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Decoding only reads the encoded JSON header and payload claims. Cryptographic verification requires the secret key.
