Private browser-local text utility

Atbash Cipher Translator

Apply the classical reversed-alphabet substitution. The same operation encodes and decodes because Atbash is reciprocal.

Translate text

Maximum 50,000 UTF-16 code units. Processing starts only after you choose Translate.

Ready. Enter text and choose an action.

Method

Atbash maps A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, continuing through M↔N. Lowercase follows the same reversed positions. Applying the operation twice returns the original ASCII letters.

Worked example

HELLO becomes SVOOL. Translating SVOOL returns HELLO.

Limitations

This is a classical educational substitution cipher, not secure encryption. Spaces, punctuation, numbers, and non-ASCII characters pass through unchanged.

Privacy and text handling

Processing is deterministic and browser-local. ASCII letter rules are explicit. Unsupported Unicode text passes through unchanged where the selected method permits it.

Reciprocal alphabet

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
