JWT Encoder

Create and encode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) with custom header, payload, and secret

Security Notice

This is a demo tool for learning purposes. Never use weak secrets or expose sensitive information in production JWTs.

Header

Common algorithms: HS256, HS384, HS512, RS256, ES256

Payload

Standard claims: sub, iss, aud, exp, nbf, iat, jti

Secret Key

For HS256, use a secret of at least 256 bits (32 characters)

About JWT Encoding

Process: The JWT is created by base64url-encoding the header and payload, then signing the combination with your secret key.
Algorithm: This tool uses HMAC-SHA256 (HS256) for signing. The algorithm specified in the header must match the implementation.
Security: The secret key should be kept secure and be sufficiently long (256+ bits for HS256).
Standard Claims:
  • iss - Issuer
  • sub - Subject
  • aud - Audience
  • exp - Expiration Time
  • nbf - Not Before
  • iat - Issued At
  • jti - JWT ID
