    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about JWT Decoder.

    The Most Secure Online JWT Decoder: Local vs. Cloud Debugging

    JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are the lifeblood of modern web authentication. But when something goes wrong with your auth flow, you need an instant, reliable way to inspect JWT tokens without compromising security.

    The Risk of Online JWT "Inspectors"

    Most online JWT tools send your tokens to their servers for processing. In a production environment, this is a massive security risk. A JWT often contains:

    • **User IDs and Roles**: Sensitive internal identifiers.
    • **Custom Claims**: Proprietary metadata about your application's permissions.
    • **Authentication Scopes**: Precise definitions of what a user can access.

    Toolnett's **secure JWT inspector** works entirely **locally in your browser**. This means your sensitive authentication data **never leave your device**. It's the only way to decode JWT online with 100% confidence in your data privacy.

    In-Depth Token Analysis

    Our decoder goes beyond just showing you raw JSON. We automatically parse the standard JWT claims to give you human-readable insights:

    • Expiration (exp): We convert Unix timestamps into your local date and time so you know exactly when a token expires.
    • Issued At (iat) & Not Before (nbf): Understand the precise timeline of your token's validity.
    • Alg & Typ: Instantly verify if you're using the correct signing algorithms like HS256 or RS256.

    Efficient Debugging for Developers

    Whether you're troubleshooting a "401 Unauthorized" error or verifying that your backend is issuing the correct scopes, our formatted JSON output and syntax highlighting make reading complex payloads effortless. You can quickly spot missing keys, malformed objects, or incorrect permission strings.

    How to Decode a JWT Online Safely

    1. **Paste Token**: Copy your encoded JWT (the string with two dots) and paste it into the editor above.
    2. **Instant Breakdown**: The tool automatically splits the token into its three distinct color-coded segments.
    3. **Review Claims**: Inspect the payload, user data, and metadata stored in the middle section.
    4. **Verify Expiry**: Check the decoded 'exp' claim to verify token longevity.

    Experience the gold standard in secure JWT debugging. No signup, no tracking, just the data you need to build better software.
