What is JWT?

JWT, or JSON Web Token, is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. These claims are often used for authentication and authorization purposes. A JWT is a string with encoded information, split into three parts: header, payload, and signature.

Why Decode a JWT?

Decoding a JWT allows you to inspect its contents. This can be particularly useful when you want to understand the information it carries or troubleshoot authentication issues. The decoded JWT reveals the claims made by the token.

How to Use this JWT Decode Tool
  1. Paste JWT: Copy and paste your JWT into the left text box.
  2. Understanding the Result: The decoded JWT will be displayed, showing the header and payload details.
  3. Edit Payload: Modify the payload as needed. Update user details, expiration times, or any relevant claims.
Example
  1. Header:{ "alg": "HS256", "typ": "JWT" }
  2. Payload: {"user_id": 123, "username": "john_doe", "exp": 1672531200}
Important Note:

Be cautious when sharing or using decoded JWT information. Sensitive details like user identifiers may be exposed.
