Frequently asked questions

Is my secret token uploaded to an external server?

No, all token decoding and Base64Url parsing occur 100% locally inside your web browser.

Can this tool verify token signatures?

This utility decodes token contents for inspection. Signature verification requires server-side secret keys.

Are custom JWT claims supported?

Yes, all custom claims in the payload object are formatted and displayed.
