Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to paste my JWT token here?

Yes. ZippyEdit decodes JWT tokens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your tokens are never sent to any server, making this the safest way to inspect sensitive authentication tokens online.

What is a JWT token?

JWT (JSON Web Token) is a compact, URL-safe token format used for securely transmitting information between parties. It consists of three parts: header, payload, and signature, separated by dots.

Can this tool verify JWT signatures?

This tool decodes and displays JWT contents. Signature verification requires the secret key or public key, which should never be shared in a browser tool. For signature verification, use server-side validation.

What JWT algorithms are supported?

The decoder can parse JWTs using any algorithm including HS256, HS384, HS512, RS256, RS384, RS512, ES256, ES384, ES512, and PS256. The algorithm is displayed in the decoded header.
