Frequently asked questions

What kinds of text tools are here?

+

Binary and hex translators, Base64 encode and decode, a lorem ipsum generator, and eight classic ciphers: Caesar, Vigenère, ROT13, Atbash, Playfair, Polybius, Bacon and Scytale.

Is my text sent to a server?

+

No. The conversions run locally in your browser.

Are the ciphers secure?

+

No. Caesar, ROT13, Atbash, Vigenère, Playfair, Polybius, Bacon and Scytale are historical ciphers that are easy to break. Use them for puzzles, learning and games, never to protect real secrets.

Is Base64 a form of encryption?

+

No. Base64 is an encoding that makes data safe to paste into text fields. Anyone can decode it, so it offers no protection.

Can I decode Base64, binary or hex back to text?

+

Yes. The binary, hex and Base64 tools all work in both directions.
