ROT13 Decoder

Shift alphabet letters by 13 positions to obfuscate or reveal hidden text.

Hello World!

Fast Online ROT13 Cipher Tool

ROT13 ("rotate by 13 places") is a simple substitution cipher that replaces a letter with the 13th letter after it in the alphabet. Because the Latin alphabet has 26 letters, ROT13 is its own inverseβ€”applying it twice returns the original text. It's a popular way to hide spoilers in online forums or obfuscate sensitive answers in puzzles.

How to Use ROT13

  2. Automatic Shift: The tool instantly applies the 13-position shift to every A-Z and a-z character.

ROT13 FAQ

Is ROT13 secure?

No. ROT13 is not intended for serious security. It is merely a way to prevent accidental reading of text (like a movie spoiler) rather than protecting data from attackers.

What happens to the letter 'Z'?

The alphabet wraps around. 'Z' becomes 'M', and 'A' becomes 'N'.

Does it work with numbers?

Standard ROT13 only affects letters. If you want to rotate numbers, you would need a 'ROT5' or 'ROT18' cipher.
