Common errors & troubleshooting
Invalid JWT format
Cause: A JWT must have three Base64URL parts separated by dots.
Fix: Paste a full token (header.payload.signature) without line breaks.
Decode succeeded but signature not verified
Cause: Browser decode shows claims only.
Fix: Treat decoded claims as untrusted until verified with the correct key on your backend.
Privacy and security
- JWT Decoder & Token Inspector: treat decoded tokens and hashes as sensitive. Decoding does not prove authenticity.
- Your input and generated output are processed locally and are not sent to our servers for tool execution.
- Opening a local file uses the browser File API; the file is not uploaded to UtilityKit.
- We may collect anonymous product analytics (for example page views). Tool contents are not included in those events.
- Decoding a JWT does not verify its signature or authenticity.
- Do not paste production secrets into shared or untrusted devices.
- JWT Decoder & Token Inspector runs in your browser; extremely large inputs may be slow or limited by device memory.
- Results depend on your browser’s JavaScript engine and available APIs.
