What is a JWT Decoder?

A JWT (JSON Web Token) Decoder is a tool that breaks down a JWT into its three constituent parts: the header, the payload, and the signature. It then decodes the header and payload from Base64Url format into readable JSON, allowing you to inspect the information they contain.

Why Use Our JWT Decoder?

  • Debugging: To quickly inspect the claims and metadata within a JWT during development to ensure they are correct.
  • Learning: To understand the structure of a JWT and see what information is typically stored in the header and payload.
  • Verification: To manually check the contents of a token before performing signature validation.
  • Convenience: To have a simple, client-side tool for decoding JWTs without sending them to a server.
