Frequently asked questions

Does this verify the token signature?

No. It decodes the header and payload only. Decoding never requires the secret, and your token is processed locally and never sent anywhere.

Is it safe to paste a real token here?

Decoding happens entirely in your browser. Still, treat live tokens carefully and avoid pasting production secrets into any web tool.
