JWT Decoder FAQ

Is my JWT uploaded or verified online?
No. The token is split and Base64-decoded entirely in your browser. This decodes (reads) the token — it does not verify the signature.
Can I see the expiry as a human date?
Yes — numeric date claims like exp and iat are also shown as readable UTC timestamps.
