Frequently asked questions

What does a JWT decoder do?

It reads the Base64URL-encoded header and payload sections of a JSON Web Token and displays their JSON content.

Does this tool verify the JWT signature?

No. Decoding a JWT is not the same as cryptographically verifying its signature.

Should I paste a production token?

Avoid exposing sensitive credentials. Use test tokens or tokens that are safe to disclose.

Why are there three JWT sections?

A common signed JWT has a header, payload and signature separated by dots.
