What is a JWT Decoder?

A JWT Decoder is a developer tool that lets you decode the readable portions of a JSON Web Token (JWT).

A JWT normally contains three parts separated by periods:

• Header - Payload - Signature

This tool decodes and displays the Header and Payload sections of a JWT token.

How to Decode a JWT

1. Paste a JWT token into the JWT Token input.
2. Click Decode JWT.
3. Review the decoded Header and Payload.
4. Check the Status, Algorithm, and Expiration information.
5. Use Copy to copy the decoded Header or Payload when needed.
6. Use Clear to remove the current token and results.
