How it works

Three steps, no setup

1

Paste the token

The three dot-separated segments are split and decoded automatically.

2

Inspect the claims

iat, exp and nbf are converted into readable dates alongside the raw values.

3

Check expiry at a glance

A clear status badge shows whether the token has already expired.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this verify the signature?
No — it only decodes the header and payload, which are not encrypted, just Base64URL-encoded. Verifying the signature requires the issuer's secret or public key.
Is my token sent anywhere?
No, decoding happens entirely in your browser. Even so, avoid pasting tokens tied to live production sessions into any external tool.
