How to Use JWT Token Generator & Signer
- Select the HMAC algorithm (HS256, HS384, HS512) and type your signing secret key.
- Edit the Header and Payload JSON objects with your desired claims and payload data.
- Click "+ Add exp" if you need a standard 1-hour expiration timestamp.
- Copy the generated 3-part encoded and signed JWT token.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which HMAC signing algorithms are supported?
- Supports HS256 (HMAC-SHA256), HS384 (HMAC-SHA384), and HS512 (HMAC-SHA512) via the native browser Web Cryptography API.
Are my signing secrets kept secure?
- Yes! All cryptographic signature generation executes 100% locally in your browser. Secrets and payload data are never sent to any server.
