Check Expiry

See token issue time, expiry time, and whether token is currently valid.

4

Verify Signature

Enter signing secret or public key to verify token authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

JWT decoding of the header and payload is safe since this data is only Base64-encoded, not encrypted. However, never paste production secrets or sensitive JWTs into untrusted tools. This tool is 100% client-side.
