How to Use JWT Token Generator & Signer

  1. Select the HMAC algorithm (HS256, HS384, HS512) and type your signing secret key.
  2. Edit the Header and Payload JSON objects with your desired claims and payload data.
  3. Click "+ Add exp" if you need a standard 1-hour expiration timestamp.
  4. 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.
