FAQ

Is this safe to use with real secrets?

Yes — signing happens entirely in your browser via the Web Crypto API. Nothing is sent to any server. Treat any generated token as sensitive; don't paste real production secrets into untrusted online tools.

What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token is a compact, URL-safe string encoding a JSON header, a JSON payload, and a cryptographic signature. The signature lets the server verify the payload hasn't been tampered with.
