Frequently asked questions
Is JWT Decoder free to use?
Yes. JWT Decoder is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does JWT Decoder upload your text to a server?
No. JWT Decoder processes your text inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a limit on how much input I can use?
JWT Decoder handles inputs into the megabytes without trouble; the only real limit is how much your browser tab can hold in memory.
Do I need to install anything to use JWT Decoder?
No installation is needed. JWT Decoder runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use JWT Decoder on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The JWT Decoder interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your text when I close the tab?
It is discarded. JWT Decoder keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
