FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JWT token?

JSON Web Token – a compact, URL-safe way to transmit claims between parties. It is often used for authentication in web apps.

Can I decode a JWT safely?

Decoding is safe – it only reveals the header and payload, which are publicly readable. It does not verify the signature or expose any secret.

What information does the decoder show?

It displays the algorithm, token type, issued-at time, expiration, issuer, subject, and any custom claims – all in a clean, formatted view.

Is my token sent to your server?

No – the entire decoding process runs in your browser. Your token stays completely private.

Can I verify if a JWT is expired?

The decoder shows the "exp" claim if present, so you can check if the token has passed its expiration time.
