About JWT Decoder

Debugging OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and API authentication flows requires quick inspection of JWT claims like 'exp', 'iat', 'sub', and custom roles. OpsKitTools JWT Decoder parses JWT strings locally in your browser, highlighting whether the token is currently expired or active, and formatting epoch timestamps into human dates.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Paste your Bearer token or raw JWT string (e.g. 'eyJhbGci...').
  2. The tool splits the token into Header (algorithm), Payload (claims), and Signature.
  3. Review the token expiration status card (Active vs. Expired) with exact UTC & local expiry times.
  4. Copy individual JSON sections as needed.
