Decoding JWTs Safely
Decoding JWTs Safely
When debugging authentication, you often need to see what's inside a JWT.
Step 1: Copy your Token
Get the JWT from your application's local storage, cookies, or API response.
Step 2: Paste into Decoder
Navigate to the JWT Decoder and paste your token.
Step 3: Inspect Header and Payload
The tool will instantly decode the Base64 parts and show you the JSON objects for the Header and Payload.
Important Note
Our decoder runs entirely in your browser. Your token is never sent to our servers, ensuring your session data remains private.
