About Caesar Cipher

The Caesar Cipher shifts each letter by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet — named after Julius Caesar, who reputedly used it for secret messages. ROT13 is a Caesar with a shift of 13.

How it works: choose a shift amount in "More settings"; each letter is shifted by that much (encrypt), and shifted back on decrypt. Digits and symbols are left untouched.

The Caesar Cipher is a classic introduction to cryptography and puzzles. It is trivially breakable (only 25 possibilities), so use it for education or games only, not security.

FAQ

Can this Caesar Cipher tool both encrypt and decrypt?

Yes. This is a single page with a toggle — use Encrypt mode to transform text, and Decrypt mode to reverse it. No need for two separate pages.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Caesar Cipher is processed entirely in your browser. The text you enter never leaves your device.
