Free Security Tools — Hash, Encrypt, Decode

Security tasks are where uploading data to a random website is the last thing you want to do, and that is exactly why these tools run entirely in your browser. Decode a login token to see what it claims, generate a checksum to verify a download, create a strong password, look inside an SSL certificate, or encrypt a message with a key you control.

The tools are meant to help you understand and check things, not to replace a security review. The JWT decoder shows what is inside a token but does not verify its signature against your server. The password strength checker explains why a password is weak. The hash generator is useful for integrity checks, but it is not a way to store passwords. Each page says what the tool can and cannot tell you.

Passwords, keys and tokens you type here are processed locally and are not sent, stored or logged. For anything that protects real accounts, use fresh values rather than production secrets while you are learning, and clear the page when you are done.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to paste a token or key into these tools?
The tools run in your browser and do not send what you type anywhere. Even so, treat production secrets with care: prefer test values, and never share a link that contains a real secret.
Does the JWT decoder verify a token?
It decodes the header and payload so you can read them, and shows the expiry. Verifying a signature needs the secret or public key on your own server.
Can I use the hash generator to store passwords?
No. General hashes such as SHA-256 are fast on purpose, which makes them a poor choice for storing passwords. Use a password-hashing function such as bcrypt or Argon2 in your application.
Are the encryption tools standard?
They use the browser's built-in Web Crypto implementation of AES and RSA, so the algorithms are the standard ones. Keep your keys and passwords safe: there is no way to recover them.
