Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to paste my JWT here?
Yes. All decoding happens in your browser — the token is never sent to a server. However, you should still avoid sharing JWTs publicly as they may contain sensitive claims.
Can this tool forge or create JWTs?
No. This tool only decodes existing JWTs. It cannot create or sign new tokens.
