How to use this calculator
- Paste a JWT (header.payload.signature).
- Read the decoded header and payload JSON.
How it works
Splits the token and base64url-decodes the header and payload. It does NOT verify the signature.
Worked example
Three parts. A JWT has a header, a payload (claims) and a signature, separated by dots.

Frequently asked questions
Does it check validity?
No — decode only. Don't trust a token's contents without verifying its signature server-side.
Is it safe to paste?
Decoding is local, but avoid pasting production tokens you wouldn't want decoded on this device.
