JWT Decoder

Decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to read the header and payload, free in your browser. No sign-up — tokens never leave your device.

Decode JSON Web Tokens

JWT Decoder splits a JSON Web Token into its header and payload and displays both as readable JSON, entirely in your browser — the token is never sent to a server, which matters since JWTs often contain sensitive claims.

How to use

  1. Paste the encoded JWT into the input box.
  2. View the decoded header and payload claims instantly.
  3. Copy the decoded JSON for inspection or debugging.

Common use cases

  • Checking what claims and expiry time an auth token actually contains.
  • Debugging why an API is rejecting a JWT as invalid or expired.
  • Inspecting a third-party token during integration work.
