Learn How JWT Tokens Work
Decode example JWTs to understand the structure: header, payload, and signature. See real-world claim examples.
🔒 The token is decoded entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
Learning JWT tips
Click "Load example" to see a sample JWT. Notice how it has three parts separated by dots: header, payload, and signature — each Base64URL-encoded.
The header and payload are *encoded*, not *encrypted*. Anyone with the token can read them. The signature is what proves the token wasn't tampered with.
The signature requires the secret/key to verify — that's how the server knows the token is genuine. Without the key, the signature is just a string of bytes.
The standard claims (iss, sub, aud, exp, nbf, iat, jti) are defined in RFC 7519. They're the universal JWT vocabulary used across providers.
