How to use the JWT decoder.

01

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

02

Calculate and review

Use the main action when needed. The first two Base64URL segments are decoded and parsed as JSON; time claims are displayed as dates.

03

Try a worked example

Paste a three-part token to inspect alg, sub, iat and exp without transmitting the token.

04

Check the assumptions

Decoding does not verify the signature or prove that a token is authentic. Never treat this output as validation.
