About this tool

There is no server behind JWT Decoder. JWT Decoder splits and base64url-decodes a JWT locally so you can inspect its claims.

Signature verification that needs a secret should be done in a trusted environment; JWT Decoder focuses on decoding. It behaves the same on desktop and mobile, with nothing stored remotely.
