what this is

A free online decoder for every format you meet

decoder.tools is a collection of 90 browser-based decoders and parsers that turn encoded, encrypted or binary data back into something readable. Paste a Base64 string, a JSON Web Token, a percent-encoded URL, a hex dump, an X.509 certificate, a packet header or a VIN, and read the decoded result immediately — no account, no upload, no command line.

Every tool is pure client-side JavaScript. Your input is processed in the page you are looking at, never transmitted to a server and never logged, which is what makes it safe to paste a live token or a private packet capture. Each decoder also carries a plain-English explainer, a spec table and answers to the questions people actually ask about that format.

Nothing leaves the tab

Every decoder is pure client-side JavaScript. Paste a secret token or a private certificate — it is processed in memory and never uploaded.

Built like an instrument

Structured readouts, not just a blob of text. See the fields, the bytes, the checksums and the warnings that matter for each format.

One place for everything

Stop juggling a dozen single-purpose sites. From JWTs to VINs to packet headers, it is all on one consistent bench.
