JWT Verify Online — 14 Algorithms vs JWKS, PEM & Claims

Verify JWT signatures and optional exp/aud/iss claims in your browser. Live verify against pasted JWKS/JWK, public PEM, or HMAC secret — same algorithm set as jwt-encode/decode. Encode · Decode · Verify tabs. Paste-only — no remote JWKS fetch. Signature verify ≠ authorization.

JWT verify — browser-local
Full-trust verify: signature plus optional time and audience claims. JWKS, single JWK, SPKI/X.509 PEM, or HMAC secret — never fetches remote keys.

Developer notes

• Paste compact JWT first — trust material tabs follow the header alg. • Algorithms: HS256/384/512, RS256/384/512, PS256/384/512, ES256/384/512, EdDSA (same as jwt-encode/decode). `alg: none` is rejected. • jwt-decode inline verify checks signature only; this tool adds exp/nbf/aud/iss policy. • verify ≠ trust or authorization. • Copy result never includes raw private JWKS material. • 512 KB per field.

Options

Clock skew
Tolerance in seconds for exp/nbf (0, 60, or 300).
Ignore expiration
Still verify signature; ignore exp claim failures.
Audience
When set, aud must match (string or array membership).
Issuer
When set, iss must match exactly.

When teams pick this route

• Debug API auth with a JWKS from provider docs. • Check exp/aud/iss after jwt-decode. • Validate test tokens from jwt-encode fixtures (any supported alg).

JWT verify FAQ

Paste-only verify

Can I paste a JWKS URL?

No. Paste the JSON body of the JWKS — nothing is fetched from the network.

Does verify mean the user is trusted?

No. This checks signature and optional claims only — not authorization or identity provider trust.

When should I use jwt-decode?

Use jwt-decode to read header/payload and optionally check signature inline. Use this tool for JWKS/PEM trust material and exp/aud/iss policy.

Which algorithms are supported?

Same 14 signing algorithms as jwt-encode/decode: HS256/384/512, RS256/384/512, PS256/384/512, ES256/384/512, and EdDSA. Unsecured alg:none is rejected.

Can I use a public PEM instead of JWKS?

Yes — use the Public PEM tab for SPKI or X.509 certificate PEM when you have a single asymmetric key.
