ROT13 Batch Converter

Convert a long list of lines or a whole text file with ROT13 in one go, and download the result.

Line by line preview

Built for lists and files

Paste many lines, or open a text file, and every line is rotated while the line structure stays exactly as it was. A preview table shows the original next to the result, so you can check before you copy or download.

Skip lines you want to keep

Enter a prefix such as # or // in the skip box and any line that starts with it is left unchanged. That is handy for text files with comments or headings that should stay readable.

Opening a file

Choose a plain text file and it is read in your browser, never uploaded. Use the Download button to save the result as a new text file. Large files work, but the preview shows only the first 100 lines.

Typical uses

  • Hiding the answers in a quiz or study sheet.
  • Preparing a list of spoilers or hints.
  • Obscuring a column of text before sharing a screenshot.
  • Testing how a program handles ROT13 data.

Remember

ROT13 is reversible by anyone, so it is only for light obfuscation. To decode a converted file, open it here again and download the result.

For a single piece of text, use the ROT13 encoder, or check unknown text with the ROT13 decoder. The guide explains how the cipher works.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep my line breaks?

Yes. Only letters change. Line breaks, spacing and punctuation stay exactly as they were.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The file is read and converted in your browser.

Can I leave some lines unchanged?

Yes. Enter a prefix in the skip box, and lines starting with it are not converted.

How do I decode a converted file?

Open it here again. ROT13 applied twice returns the original.
