Token

JWT Decoder & Encoder

A secure tool for JSON Web Token (JWT) inspection: real-time Decoder and Encoder.

All operations are processed locally in your browser with HMAC SHA-256 signature support.

JWT Anatomy

Every token consists of three dot-separated components.

Header

Contains token metadata: token type (JWT) and signing algorithm (HS256, RS256, etc.).

Payload

A set of claims about the subject, system timestamps (sub, iss, exp, iat), and custom data.

Signature

A cryptographic hash of header and payload ensuring data integrity and authenticity.
