Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool verify the JWT signature?▼
No. This tool decodes the Base64URL-encoded header and payload directly in your browser. Validating the cryptographic signature requires your secret key or public certificate, which should only be verified on your secure server.
Is my JWT sent to a server?▼
No. All decoding runs client-side using JavaScript Base64URL decoding. Your token never leaves your browser.
What is the difference between decoding and verifying a JWT?▼
Decoding only unpacks the readable JSON payload and header so you can inspect claims like exp (expiration) or sub (subject). Verifying mathematically proves that the token was signed with the expected private key or secret and was not tampered with.
Use Cases
Claim Inspection
Check token expiration (exp), audience (aud), and custom claims during development
Frontend Debugging
Inspect decoded token properties without sending credentials over the network
