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.

It's grown into six sections. Ciphers covers the classics from Caesar to Enigma, famous unsolved codes and a daily puzzle. Scripts writes English in runes, Ogham, Greek and hieroglyphs and signals it in Morse or semaphore. Developer tools encodes, decodes and calculates for code and networks. Math shows the working for long division, fractions and more. The geocaching toolkit handles cache hints and coordinates, and fancy text puts your words in bold, cursive, zalgo and more to copy and paste.

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.

Everything runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Each page explains how its conversion works and lists the sources it was checked against, and many have a chart you can print.

What's new

  • New
  • Improved

    Every date tool now reads and writes dates month first, so 03/04/2026 is March 4 and answers read like Wednesday, March 4, 2026. The Roman numeral date converter now starts month first too. Where a page has a Date order setting, Day first is still there, and a date that can only be day first, like 25/12/2026, still works.

  • Improved

    The note that lists skipped characters, such as digits on the rune translator, now sits under the result it describes, and screen readers announce it when it changes.

  • Improved

    The printable charts on the Caesar, affine, ROT13 and Bacon cipher pages now follow the converter's settings. Set a shift of 7 or a = 7, b = 3, and the chart, its heading and the printed sheet show that key.

  • Improved

    The bitwise calculator now works the way the bit shift calculator does. NOT, NAND and NOR flip the number of bits you choose, negative numbers work as two's complement, and an answer with its top bit set shows both its signed and unsigned values.
