FAQ

Questions.

What is a JWT token?

JWT (JSON Web Token) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims between two parties. It consists of three parts: header, payload, and signature, each separated by dots.

Can I use this tool to validate token signatures?

This tool validates the token structure and format, but cannot verify the cryptographic signature as that would require the secret key used to sign the token.

Is it safe to paste my JWT tokens here?

Yes! All processing is done locally in your browser. No token data is ever sent to any server or stored anywhere.

What information can I see about my token?

You can view the decoded header (including algorithm type), payload claims (such as issuer, subject, expiration), and the signature portion of your token.

Can I check if my token is expired?

Yes, the tool automatically checks the expiration claim (exp) if present in your token and shows whether the token has expired.
