How JWT (JSON Web Token) Offline Header & Payload Inspector Works & When to Use It
Decode the Base64URL Header and Payload claims (`iss`, `sub`, `iat`, `exp`) of a 3-part JSON Web Token (JWT) offline and check expiration in IST. Calculations and file processing run in this browser tab. The tool does not send working inputs or files to our hosting server.
Step-by-Step Instructions

Worked Examples
| Scenario | Input Parameters | Example Output |
|---|---|---|
| Decode Sample HS256 JWT with iat & exp Claims | {"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1c2VyXzEwMSIs..."} |
{ "sub": "user_101", "name": "Bharat Dev", "iat": 1793867400, "exp": 1825403400 } |
| Decode Admin Role JWT | {"token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyb2xlIjoic2VsbGVyX2Fk..."} |
{ "role": "seller_admin", "store": "IN" } |

- Privacy & Execution Mode: Browser-Local Only (Zero Server Upload) (None (Pure Vanilla JS & Web Crypto))
Important Limitations & Edge Cases
Decodes Header and Payload locally without sending the token over the network. Does not verify private cryptographic signature keys. Check the assumptions and output against your intended task before relying on the result.
