About the JWT Decoder

Use the JWT Decoder to inspect JSON Web Token headers and payload claims without sending the token to a server. It decodes Base64URL sections, formats the header and payload JSON, and summarizes common claims like issuer, subject, audience, issued-at, not-before, and expiration.

Common uses

  • Inspect JWT claims while debugging authentication flows.
  • Check whether a token looks expired or not yet valid.
  • Read token header metadata such as alg and typ.
  • Copy formatted header or payload JSON into a ticket or local test note.

Browser workflow

  1. 01 Paste a JWT, with or without a Bearer prefix.
  2. 02 Review the claims summary and signature warning.
  3. 03 Copy the formatted header or payload JSON for debugging.
