Frequently Asked Questions

Is this JWT decoder free and secure?
Yes, completely free. All decoding happens in your browser — your tokens are never sent to any server.
Can this tool verify JWT signatures?
This tool decodes and inspects JWTs, showing header, payload, and claims. For security, signature verification should be done server-side with your secret key.
What JWT formats are supported?
Standard JSON Web Tokens with three parts (header.payload.signature) using any algorithm (HS256, RS256, ES256, etc.).
