ROT13 Encoder / Decoder

Apply the ROT13 letter-substitution cipher. Because it shifts by 13, the same action both encodes and decodes.

How to Use the ROT13 Cipher

  1. Pick a direction — use the toggle at the top (e.g. encode vs decode).
  2. Type or paste your text — the result updates live as you type; large inputs are fine.
  3. Copy the result — one click copies the output to your clipboard.
  4. Swap — flip the direction (⇄) to reverse the conversion instantly.

Understanding the ROT13 Cipher

ROT13 ("rotate by 13") is a simple substitution cipher that shifts each letter 13 places in the alphabet. Because the alphabet has 26 letters, applying ROT13 twice returns the original text — so the same action both encodes and decodes.

It is used to hide spoilers, puzzle answers and punch-lines in plain sight, not for real security. Type any text to scramble or unscramble it instantly, all in your browser.

ROT13 Cipher FAQ

No — it is a simple letter rotation used to hide spoilers or puzzle answers, not for security. Encoding and decoding are the same operation.
