Frequently asked questions
What is ROT47 cipher?
Encode or decode text with ROT47, which rotates all printable ASCII characters. Works on a pasted block or on a file you drop in.
When would I actually use this?
Verifying a download matches its published checksum, comparing two files without reading them, and generating a signature for an API request.
What is the most common mistake?
Hashing a password with a fast algorithm. MD5 and SHA are built to be quick, which is exactly wrong for passwords — those need a deliberately slow function like bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2.
How is ROT47 cipher different from Atbash cipher?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Atbash cipher is the one to open when you need it to encode or decode text with the Atbash substitution cipher (A↔Z, B↔Y…). Paste the text or drop the file; nothing leaves the page either way. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Caesar cipher (ROT13) is the closest one after this: Encode or decode text with a Caesar shift cipher — ROT13 by default.
Where do the figures come from?
The digests follow their published specifications and are computed by the browser's own crypto implementation where one exists, so a value can be checked against any other conforming tool.
