Free leetspeak converter that rewrites plain text as 1337 (l33t) and decodes basic leet back to readable words. Leetspeak is the hacker and gamer alphabet that swaps letters for lookalike numbers and symbols: a becomes 4, e becomes 3, i becomes 1, o becomes 0, s becomes 5, t becomes 7. Pick from three strength levels. Basic does the classic six number swaps and stays easy to read. Medium adds more letters like g to 9, b to 8 and l to 1 for a denser look. Hardcore reaches for fancy multi-symbol glyphs such as |-| for h and \\/\\/ for w, the kind of name you see on old forums and clan tags. Case is preserved, spaces and punctuation pass through untouched, and Chinese or other non-Latin characters stay exactly as you typed them. One click copies the result, and the shareable link reopens with your text, level and direction intact. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
