Decode JWT headers and payloads without pasting authentication tokens into an online decoder. Everything runs locally on your device.

What it does

Inspect JWTs without sending them anywhere.

Paste a JSON Web Token and inspect its decoded header and payload in a readable form while debugging authentication and authorization.

Decode JWT payloads

Turn the encoded JWT payload into readable structured data.

Inspect token claims

Quickly inspect values such as subjects, roles, timestamps, scopes, and application-specific claims.

Keep tokens local

Your JWT is decoded on your device rather than being uploaded to a web service.

Example

From token to readable claims

The middle section of a JWT is a Base64-encoded JSON payload. DevT Pro decodes it in place.

Common uses

When a JWT Decoder is useful

01

Debugging authentication

Inspect the claims in a token when troubleshooting login, authentication, or authorization behavior.

02

Checking roles and scopes

See what permissions, roles, scopes, or application-specific values are present in a token.

03

Inspecting tokens from APIs

Quickly understand JWTs returned by development, staging, or production APIs without using a browser-based decoder.

Local first

Authentication tokens should stay local.

JWTs can contain user identifiers, permissions, account information, internal application data, and other sensitive values. Using a local decoder means you don't have to paste those tokens into an arbitrary website just to inspect them.
