About This Tool

This tool decodes a JSON Web Token (JWT) into its header and payload for inspection and auditing. It performs base64url decoding and JSON parsing to reveal claims such as iss, sub, aud, exp, and iat, along with the signing algorithm. It can also extract the signature and detect the algorithm used.
If a secret or public key is supplied, the tool can verify the signature by recomputing the signing input and applying the specified algorithm (HS256, RS256, ES256, etc.). It returns a validity flag and diagnostic details that help identify mismatches between the token and the provided key or algorithm.
Intended for developers, QA engineers, security analysts, and API integrators, the tool supports token inspection during integration, debugging, and security reviews. It handles common edge cases such as malformed tokens, missing segments, invalid base64url, and unsupported algorithms, while offering clear output formats for further processing.
Core value lies in transparency and speed: you can decode without network calls, verify offline with a provided key, and export structured results for logs or tooling pipelines.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: Enter the JWT string and, if desired, the secret or public key for verification.
  2. Choose algorithm: Select HS256, RS256, ES256, or leave it auto-detect.
  3. Run decoding: Decode to produce header, payload, and verification results.
  4. Review outputs: Inspect decoded header and payload JSON, and the verification status.
  5. Export results: Copy or export the structured outputs for logs or testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is a JWT?
A JSON Web Token is a compact, URL-safe means of transmitting claims between parties. It typically consists of a header, payload, and a signature when signed; the tool decodes the header and payload, and can verify the signature when a key is provided.
Can I verify the signature without a key?
No. Signature verification requires the appropriate secret or public key corresponding to the signing algorithm. The decoder can decode regardless, but verification accuracy depends on supplying the correct key and algorithm.
Which algorithms are supported?
The tool supports common JWT signing algorithms such as HS256, RS256 and ES256. It can verify signatures using a provided key or PEM, and will report the algorithm detected in the token when possible.
How are claims decoded?
Header and payload are base64url decoded and parsed as JSON. The results show registered claims like iss, sub, aud, exp, iat, and others in a readable structure; no code is executed.
Can it validate time-based claims?
Yes, you can enable checks for exp, nbf, and iat if your workflow requires it. Validation depends on your system clock and time zone; the tool provides a separate indicator for expiration status.
