Security & Cryptography Tools
These tools help developers inspect authentication tokens and generate hashes for integrity checks. Decoding a JWT reveals its header and payload claims but does not verify its signature — a decoded token should never be treated as a validated one. Hash generators are provided for checksums and comparisons, not for password storage.
Common use cases
- Inspecting the claims, expiration, and issuer inside a JWT during debugging
- Generating a SHA-256 checksum to verify a file or string wasn't altered
- Comparing two pieces of text by their hash instead of reading them character by character
- Understanding what algorithm and claims a third-party API's token actually uses
Tools
JWT Decoder
Decode a JWT's header and payload — without verifying its signature.
JWT Inspector
A deeper look at a JWT's structure, sizes, and expiration status.
JWT Generator
Encode and HMAC-sign a JWT for testing, entirely in your browser.
Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 hashes.
SHA256 Generator
Generate a SHA-256 hash from text or a file.
MD5 Generator
Generate an MD5 hash — for legacy compatibility, not security.
