How JWT Decode Works

HEADER
{"alg": "HS256", "typ": "JWT"}
.
PAYLOAD
{"sub": "1234567890", "name": "John Doe"}
.
SIGNATURE
HMACSHA256(base64UrlEncode(header) + "." + base64UrlEncode(payload), secret)

Understanding JWT Structure

JSON Web Tokens consist of three parts separated by dots (.), which are:

  • Header - Contains the token type and signing algorithm
  • Payload - Contains the claims (user data and metadata)
  • Signature - Verifies the token hasn't been altered

Our decoder splits these parts and displays them in a readable format. All processing happens client-side - your tokens never leave your browser.
