Frequently Asked Questions

Each letter is shifted 13 positions through the alphabet (A→N, B→O, etc.), wrapping around at the end. Numbers, punctuation, and spaces are left unchanged.

Because ROT13 is self-inverse — applying it twice returns the original text (13 + 13 = 26, a full alphabet rotation) — so encoding and decoding are literally the identical operation.

No — it provides zero real security, since it's a fixed, publicly-known substitution with no key. It's traditionally used to hide spoilers or puzzle answers from casual glance, not for genuine confidentiality.

No — the transformation happens entirely in your browser.
