Decode, inspect claims, check expiration status, verify HMAC SHA-256 signatures, and build custom JSON Web Tokens online.
Paste any JWT token to inspect color-coded header parameters (Algorithm, Token Type), payload claims (Subject, Expiration, Issued At), verify HMAC signatures with your secret key, and check live expiration countdowns.
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are an open RFC 7519 standard for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. A JWT consists of three dot-separated parts: a Header (specifying algorithm & token type), a Payload (containing user identity and claims), and a Signature (verifying authenticity).
Yes. All decoding, Base64Url parsing, timestamp calculations, and HMAC SHA-256 signature verifications happen 100% client-side inside your browser. No tokens or secrets are ever sent to a server.
Standard claims include iss (Issuer), sub (Subject), aud (Audience), exp (Expiration Time), nbf (Not Before), iat (Issued At), and jti (JWT ID).
Yes. The payload data of an expired JWT remains readable; the decoder will highlight the expiration badge in red with the exact expired timestamp.
Debugging JWT tokens ensures seamless web application authentication, OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect authorization flows, and secure microservice API communication.
