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- The 'exp' (expiration time) claim indicates the time after which the token is no longer valid, expressed as a Unix timestamp.
