JWT
Decoder & Verifier

Paste a JSON Web Token to see its header, payload, expiry and claims — with optional HMAC / RSA / ECDSA signature verification. All client-side. Nothing leaves your browser.

100% client-side • Secrets & keys stay in your browser • No registration

What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token is a compact, URL-safe credential made of three base64url-encoded parts separated by dots: a header, a payload, and a signature.

The header and payload are not encrypted — they are plain JSON anyone can read. The signature only proves the token has not been tampered with by a party that holds the key.

This decoder splits the token, pretty-prints the JSON, annotates standard claims (iss, sub, exp…), and optionally verifies the signature with the browser's SubtleCrypto API.

JWT Decoder FAQ

What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token is a compact, URL-safe token with three base64url parts — header, payload, and signature — used to carry claims between parties, most commonly for authentication and authorisation.

Are JWTs encrypted?

No. A standard signed JWT (JWS) is not encrypted — the header and payload are base64url-encoded plaintext that anyone can decode. The signature only proves integrity and authenticity, not confidentiality. Never put secrets in a JWT payload.

Does this tool send my token anywhere?

No. Decoding and signature verification run entirely in your browser using built-in APIs. Your token, secret, and keys never leave the page.

What's the difference between HS256 and RS256?

HS256 is a symmetric HMAC algorithm — the same secret signs and verifies. RS256 is asymmetric — a private key signs and the corresponding public key verifies, so you can hand out the public key without exposing signing power.

Why does my JWT show "Invalid signature" when I know it is valid?

Usually you pasted the wrong secret or public key, the key format is off (HMAC expects the raw secret, asymmetric expects a PEM SPKI public key), or the token uses an algorithm this tool does not support. Double-check the alg field in the header.
