About this tool

The secure developer-grade JSON Web Token debugger. Paste tokens containing auth data, API roles, or custom claims. Highlights algorithm headers, parses UNIX timestamps (exp, iat, nbf) into human-readable local times, checks active vs expired status, and formats payload JSON for easy copying.

Tips for best results

Take a moment to read the options before you start, and try the tool with a small sample first. Everything runs in your browser on your own device, so nothing you type or add is uploaded, and closing the tab clears it. If something does not look right, reload the page and try again, or use the report link on this page to tell us what went wrong so we can fix it. If a result still looks wrong, change one value at a time to see which box matters most. Bookmark this page if you will need the tool again.
