Build & Sign JWT Tokens Instantly (HS256, HS384, HS512)
Construct and sign JWT tokens locally in your browser. Edit header and payload JSON, choose HS256/HS384/HS512, enter a secret, and generate a signed token instantly. Nothing is uploaded.
How to Use JWT Encoder & Signer
How to Use the JWT Encoder & Signer:
Select Algorithm: Choose HS256 (default), HS384, or HS512. The algorithm is automatically set in the header JSON.
Edit the Header: The header defaults to {"alg":"HS256","typ":"JWT"}. You can add additional fields (e.g., kid for key ID), but the alg field is controlled by the algorithm selector.
Edit the Payload: Enter your claims as a JSON object. Standard claims:
- sub — subject (user ID, service name)
- iat — issued at (Unix timestamp, seconds)
- exp — expiry (Unix timestamp, seconds)
- iss — issuer
- aud — audience Custom claims are also supported as any JSON field.
Enter Your Secret: Type or paste your HMAC signing secret. Use the Show/Hide toggle to reveal it. The secret is only used in your browser and never uploaded.
Click Generate Token: The tool signs the header and payload using the Web Crypto API and displays the signed JWT with colour-coded sections (red = header, purple = payload, cyan = signature).
Copy the Token: Click Copy to copy the full JWT to your clipboard. Use the JWT Token Validator to verify the output.
Notes
- Only HMAC algorithms (HS256, HS384, HS512) are supported. RS256/ES256 require a private key and are not available in the browser.
- The payload is Base64URL-encoded, not encrypted — do not include secrets or sensitive data in the payload.
- Tokens generated here are real, valid JWTs suitable for development and testing.

TOTP Code Generator
Generate time-based one-time passwords from a TOTP secret key. Enter your base32 secret, choose a period and digit length, and get the current and next codes with a live countdown timer. Useful for testing and debugging 2FA integrations.
Use Tool →JSON to Zod Schema Generator
Generate Zod validation schema code from a JSON sample object. Infers z.string(), z.number(), z.boolean(), z.array(), z.object(), and z.null() types automatically. Handles nested objects, arrays of objects with optional field detection, and outputs copy-ready TypeScript with import and z.infer type alias.
Use Tool →JSONL / NDJSON Formatter
Format, validate, and inspect JSON Lines (JSONL) and NDJSON files. Validates each line individually, reports parse errors by line number, outputs compact JSONL or a pretty-print preview, and lets you download the cleaned file.
Use Tool →Secret and Credential Scanner
Scan pasted text, code, or config files for accidentally exposed API keys, tokens, passwords, and private keys. Detects 50+ secret types across AWS, GitHub, Stripe, OpenAI, and more — all client-side, nothing leaves your browser.
Use Tool →TLS Cipher Suite Checker
Check TLS protocol version compatibility and cipher suite strength ratings against current best practices. Supports IANA and OpenSSL cipher names — rates each suite as Strong, Weak, or Deprecated and explains why.
Use Tool →Password Entropy Calculator
Calculate the information-theoretic bit entropy of any password or API key. Detects character set pools automatically, shows the total number of possible combinations, and estimates crack time across five attack scenarios from rate-limited web logins to GPU cracking clusters.
Use Tool →TOML Config Validator
Validate TOML configuration file syntax and report errors with line numbers. Paste any TOML content — Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, config.toml — and instantly see a green checkmark with key counts and structure stats, or a precise error message pointing to the exact line. Includes a collapsible JSON structure preview to confirm what was parsed.
Use Tool →Content Security Policy Generator
Build Content Security Policy headers interactively. Toggle directives like script-src, style-src, and img-src, select allowed source tokens, and add custom origins. Instantly outputs your CSP as an HTTP header, meta tag, Nginx directive, or Apache header.
Use Tool →Related API & Backend Tools
OpenAPI Spec Validator
Validate OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) and OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 specification files for compliance, missing required fields, unresolved $ref paths, and schema errors. Paste JSON or YAML or upload a file — errors and warnings are listed by path with severity levels and actionable fix suggestions. All validation runs entirely in your browser.
Use Tool →HTTP Request Headers Generator
Generate common HTTP request headers for authentication, content-type, caching, and security. Toggle each category, configure values, and copy the output as raw key-value pairs, JSON, fetch(), cURL, or axios.
Use Tool →Rate Limit Header Parser
Parse and visualize X-RateLimit headers from raw HTTP API responses. Paste response headers to instantly see your quota state — limit, remaining, used, and reset time — displayed as color-coded progress meters. Supports GitHub, OpenAI, Twitter/X, Shopify, and IETF standard rate limit headers.
Use Tool →GraphQL Variables Formatter
Format and validate GraphQL query variables JSON for use in queries and API clients. Paste your variables JSON alongside a GraphQL query to instantly format the JSON, validate that each variable matches its declared type, catch missing required variables, and highlight undeclared extras.
Use Tool →Postman to OpenAPI Converter
Convert Postman Collection v2.1 JSON to OpenAPI 3.0 specification format. Upload or paste your collection, and get a downloadable openapi.yaml or openapi.json with mapped paths, parameters, request bodies, and example responses.
Use Tool →API Tester
Test HTTP API endpoints directly in your browser. Make GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests with custom headers and request bodies. View status codes, response headers, and pretty-printed JSON responses — all client-side, no server proxy.
Use Tool →CORS Header Generator
Build CORS configuration headers interactively for web servers and APIs. Set allowed origins, methods, request headers, credentials, and preflight cache duration — then copy the generated Access-Control headers or ready-to-paste code snippets for nginx, Express.js, Flask, and .NET.
