How to use JWT Decoder

  • Paste the full token with its dot-separated parts so the header and payload can be read together.
  • Review claims like issuer, audience, subject, and expiry to see whether the token matches the expected flow.
  • Use the decoded output for debugging only, then move to proper signature verification in your backend or auth layer.

Example workflow

When an API keeps returning unauthorized, a developer can decode the JWT, see that the `aud` claim points to the wrong service, and fix the token issuer configuration instead of guessing.

Privacy note

The decoder reads the token in your browser so you can inspect claims quickly without sending them to another service.
