JWT Decoder

Decode and inspect JSON Web Tokens without validation.

Header

{
  "alg": "HS256",
  "typ": "JWT"
}

Payload

{
  "sub": "1234567890",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "iat": 1516239022
}

This tool does not validate the signature. All decoding is done client-side.

About the JWT Decoder

This tool helps you quickly decode and inspect the contents of a JSON Web Token (JWT). JWTs are commonly used for authentication and authorization in web applications. They consist of three parts: a header, a payload, and a signature, separated by dots. Our decoder allows you to see the header and payload data in a human-readable format.

How it Works

  • Paste Token: Simply paste your JWT into the input field.
  • Instant Decode: The tool automatically decodes the Base64Url-encoded header and payload and displays them as formatted JSON objects.
  • No Validation: Please note that this tool does not validate the token's signature. It only decodes the data for inspection.
