Is it secure to paste my production JWT tokens here?

Yes, completely. Our JWT Decoder operates fully offline inside your browser sandbox. The secret claims and keys stay entirely on your device and are never sent over the network.

Does this tool support token signature verification?

This tool is a client-side layout and claims inspector. True cryptographic signature verification requires a shared secret or public key and is typically done on backends to avoid exposing credentials to client browsers.

Why does it say my token has expired?

If your token payload contains an "exp" (expiration) claim, the tool compares its timestamp to your local system clock and displays a warning banner if that timestamp is in the past.
