Is it safe to paste my production JWT here?

Yes. ToolHub is built with a strictly privacy-first philosophy. The JWT decoding happens entirely within your device's browser using JavaScript. The token is never logged, stored, or transmitted over the internet.

Does this tool verify the signature of the JWT?

No, this tool acts as a parser/decoder for the Base64Url strings. It does not perform cryptographic validation against a public or private key. It is strictly for inspecting the contents.

Why are my date claims showing strange numbers?

Standard JWT claims like 'exp' (Expiration) or 'iat' (Issued At) are usually stored as Unix timestamps (seconds since 1970). The decoder automatically attempts to detect these and prints a human-readable local date next to them, but preserves the original data.

About JWT Decoder

Instantly decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in your web browser. Inspect the header, payload claims, and signature entirely client-side. No logs, no tracking, complete privacy.

How to use

1Paste your encoded JWT string (header.payload.signature) into the input box.
2ToolHub will instantly dissect the token into its core components natively in the browser.
3Review the Header to identify the token cryptographic algorithm.
4Inspect the Payload claims. Standard timestamps (exp, iat) are automatically translated into human-readable local time.
5Use the tool entirely offline if required; your JWT is never uploaded to any server.
