Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to paste my JWT here?
This tool runs 100% in your browser — your token is never sent to any server. However, avoid using production access tokens with full privileges in any web tool as a general security practice.
Can this tool verify a JWT signature?
Signature verification requires the secret key. This tool only decodes the token without validating the signature.
What is the exp claim?
The 'exp' (expiration time) claim indicates the time after which the token is no longer valid, expressed as a Unix timestamp.
