FAQ
What is ROT13?
ROT13 is a Caesar cipher that shifts each letter 13 positions in the alphabet. Since the Latin alphabet has 26 letters, applying ROT13 twice returns the original text.
What is the difference between encoding and decoding?
Encoding shifts letters forward by the chosen amount. Decoding shifts them backward by the same amount. With ROT13 (shift 13), encoding and decoding are the same operation.
Does it change numbers and punctuation?
Standard Caesar cipher only shifts letters. Numbers, punctuation, and spaces are preserved. ROT5 shifts digits only, and ROT47 shifts all printable ASCII characters.
