Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online rot47 cipher.
ROT47 rotates each printable ASCII character 47 places along the 94 character run from the
exclamation mark to the tilde, wrapping around at the end.
ROT13 only shifts letters and leaves digits and punctuation alone. ROT47 shifts every
printable character, so numbers and symbols are scrambled too.
No. It is a simple obfuscation with no key at all, so anyone can decode it instantly. Never
use it to protect passwords or private data.
The space character sits below the printable range that ROT47 rotates, so it is left alone
along with tabs, new lines and any accented characters.
Switch to decode or simply run the encode again. Because 47 is half of 94, applying the
rotation twice returns the original characters.
It is used in online forums and puzzle games to hide spoilers, answers and off topic remarks
from people who do not want to read them.
No. The rotation happens instantly in your browser, so your text is never sent anywhere and
never stored.
