About the JWT Decoder

This free JWT decoder reads a JSON Web Token and shows its header and payload as formatted JSON, plus human-readable dates for issued/expiry times.

Decoding happens in your browser — your token is never uploaded. (This tool decodes the token; it does not verify the signature.)

How to use it

  • Paste your JWT (the xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz string)
  • Read the decoded header and payload below
  • Copy either part if you need it
