FAQ

Does the tool verify the JWT signature?

No. This decoder is meant for inspection only, which keeps the tool lightweight and purely front-end.

Why does my token show an invalid format error?

JWTs need three dot-separated parts. If one segment is missing or not valid Base64URL, the decoder will warn you.
