About JWT Decoder

A JWT (JSON Web Token) has three Base64URL-encoded parts: header, payload and signature. This tool decodes the header and payload so you can inspect the claims, algorithm and expiry — without ever sending the token anywhere.

How to use

  1. 1Paste your JWT into the input box.
  2. 2View the decoded header and payload as formatted JSON.
  3. 3Check readable issued/expiry times and whether the token has expired.

Features

  • Decodes header and payload instantly.
  • Human-readable exp, iat and nbf timestamps.
  • Expiry status indicator.
  • Fully client-side — the signature is never verified or sent.
