What is JWT Decode?

JWT (JSON Web Token) is a compact, URL-safe token format used for securely transmitting information between parties. This tool decodes a JWT and displays its three components: the header (algorithm and type), the payload (claims and data), and the signature.

Decoding a JWT does not require a secret key — it simply Base64URL-decodes each part. This is useful for debugging authentication flows, inspecting token claims, and checking expiration times. All processing happens in your browser; no data is sent to any server.
