How to use ROT13 Encoder

  1. Type or paste your text.
  2. Click Encode / Decode — ROT13 is its own reverse, so the same button does both.
  3. Copy the result.
  4. Run encoded text through again to get the original back.

Note: ROT13 is a toy cipher for fun and puzzles, not real security — anyone can decode it instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ROT13 Encoder free?

Yes, it is 100% free with no sign-up. Your files and data stay in your browser.

Is ROT13 encryption secure?

No. It is a puzzle cipher, not security — never use it to hide real secrets.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded.

Why does the same button decode too?

Shifting 13 places twice is 26 places, a full alphabet — so ROT13 is its own inverse.
