Questions about Encode & Decode
How do I decode Base64?
Paste it into the input with Base64 and Decode selected, or leave Auto-detect on and simply paste it.
Is Base64 a form of encryption?
No. It is an encoding that anyone can reverse. Never rely on it to hide anything.
Can it verify a JWT?
No. It decodes the header and the claims, but checking the signature needs the signing key, which should never be pasted into a web page.
Is it safe to paste a live token?
Yes. The browser blocks this page from making any network request, so the token is decoded on your device and goes nowhere else.
