Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe token used for authentication and data exchange. It contains three base64-encoded parts: header, payload, and signature.

Do you store my JWT tokens?

No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser. Your token is never sent to any server.

Can I verify the signature?

Use our JWT Signature Verification tool for signature verification with a secret.

Is it safe to paste a JWT here?

Since all processing is client-side, no data leaves your browser. However, avoid sharing sensitive production tokens.

What does the payload contain?

The payload contains claims — key-value pairs about the user or session such as sub, iat, exp, and custom fields.
