FAQs

Does this verify JWT signatures?

No. It only decodes the token. Signature verification requires the correct secret or public key.

Is the token uploaded?

No. Decoding runs locally in your browser.

Can I paste production tokens?

Avoid pasting sensitive production tokens into any tool unless you fully trust the environment and understand the risk.
