What this tool does

Decodes JWT tokens into their three parts: header (algorithm info), payload (claims and data), and signature (verification data). Perfect for debugging authentication issues.

How to use it

Paste your JWT token in the input field. The tool automatically decodes it and displays the header and payload as formatted JSON. Use the tabs to toggle between formatted and raw views.

Privacy note

Your tokens never leave your browser. All decoding happens locally on your device. We don't store, log, or transmit any data you enter.

Important notice

This tool only decodes JWTs to inspect their contents. It does not verify signatures or validate token authenticity. Never trust a token solely based on decoded content.
