Note: this tool decodes JWT locally in your browser and does not verify signature cryptographically.

How to use this JWT parser

1. Paste your token into the JWT token field.

2. Click Parse token.

3. Review decoded header and payload, then check expiration and known claims.

This is useful when debugging API authentication, checking access tokens, or reviewing claim values before deployment.

Common JWT issues

Invalid format: token is missing one of the required dot-separated parts.

Invalid base64url: one segment contains unsupported characters.

Expired token: the exp claim is older than current time.

Not yet valid: the nbf claim is in the future.

FAQ

Does this page send token data to a server?
No. Decoding runs in your browser.

Does this parser verify signature?
No. It decodes token parts and displays claims, but cryptographic verification is not performed.

Can I inspect standard claims?
Yes. You can quickly check exp, iat, nbf, iss, aud, and sub when present.
