How to Use the Caesar Cipher & ROT13 Converter

Operation options:

  • ROT13:
    Applies a fixed shift of 13 positions to each letter.
    Letters A–M map to N–Z, and N–Z map back to A–M. Non-letters remain unchanged.
  • Custom Caesar Cipher:
    Enter a shift key (1–25). Each letter in your text is shifted by that key.
    For example, with shift 3, A→D, B→E, …, X→A, Y→B, Z→C.

How to use:

  1. Paste or type your text into the Input area.
  2. Select ROT13 or Custom Caesar Cipher.
  3. If using Custom Caesar, enter a shift key between 1 and 25.
  4. Your encoded or decoded result appears instantly in the Output area.
  5. Use Copy to copy the result, or Clear to reset and start over.

Tips:

  • Non-alphabetic characters (digits, punctuation, spaces) are not changed.
  • Case is preserved: lowercase stays lowercase, uppercase stays uppercase.
  • ROT13 is a special case of Caesar Cipher with a fixed shift of 13.
  • For military or puzzle use, choose a shift key that is hard to guess.
