FAQ

Q: Is it safe to decode JWT here?
A: Yes. All decoding happens in your browser. Your tokens are never sent to any server.

Q: What are JWT claims?
A: Claims are key-value pairs in the payload like iss (issuer), sub (subject), exp (expiration), and iat (issued at).

Q: Can I verify the signature?
A: This tool decodes the token but does not verify cryptographic signatures. Use jwt.io or backend libraries for verification.
