ROT13 Encoder/Decoder Online
Loading tool...
ROT13 is a simple substitution cipher used in online forums to hide spoilers, puzzle solutions, or offensive punchlines from casual reading. This tool is built to instantly encode or decode your text using this classic algorithm.
Real-Time Substitution
The tool uses a lightweight JavaScript function to shift every alphabetical character exactly 13 places forward in the Latin alphabet. Because 13 is half of 26, the same algorithm works for both encoding and decoding.
Private Processing
