About ROT13

ROT13 ("rotate by 13 places") is a simple letter substitution cipher that replaces a letter with the 13th letter after it in the alphabet. It's a special case of the Caesar cipher. Since there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, applying ROT13 twice to a piece of text will restore the original text, making it its own inverse.

It is not a form of encryption and provides no security. It is often used in online forums to obscure spoilers, puzzle solutions, or offensive material from a casual glance. This tool allows you to easily encode and decode text using the ROT13 cipher.
