Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token is a compact, signed token with three parts: a header, a payload of claims, and a signature.

Does decoding check the signature?

No. Decoding only reads the header and payload. Anyone can read those parts, since they are encoded, not encrypted.

Is it safe to paste a real token?

It is safe here because nothing leaves your browser, but treat tokens as secrets and do not paste them into untrusted tools.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the values you enter, including any secrets, never leave your device.

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool here is free to use with no sign up.
