ABOUT
What this site does
StringMash turns text into Morse, runes, Ogham, Base64, binary, character codes and the classic puzzle ciphers. Type on one side and the result appears on the other. There's no convert button anywhere on the site.
Every converter that can run backwards does, and the arrows between the boxes re-run what you typed in the other direction. Where a conversion only goes one way, like Pig Latin, the page says so instead of guessing.
Holding something unreadable? Start at the cipher identifier, which tries every conversion here and ranks what comes back.
What's new
- New
- Improved
Pages now show their sources at the bottom, with the date the page was added and last updated.
- Improved
Worked examples, with the numbers taken from the converters themselves.
- Fixed
Rechecked against sources. Dates, names and Unicode details that were wrong are corrected, and details no source supports are cut.
- Improved
Sources added to 59 more pages, so every converter now lists what its facts were checked against.
