When you need the leetspeak

Gamers use it to create unique usernames, designers use it for a hacker look on posters, and teachers use it in puzzles. It is also a way to make a password that is easier to remember, though simple swaps do not make a password safe.

The option to keep capital letters is useful for names. Switching it off makes everything lower-case, which looks closer to the style of old forums.

How the leetspeak is worked out

Basic style swaps a for 4, e for 3, i for 1, o for 0, s for 5 and t for 7. Strong style adds b to 8, c to (, g to 9, h to #, i to !, l to 1, z to 2, a to @, s to $ and t to +. Hello World, leet speak is fun becomes H3ll0 W0rld, l337 5p34k 15 fun in basic style. In strong style, hello becomes #3110. Letters with no replacement are left alone.

Every answer on this page comes from that one rule, so you can check any result by hand with a calculator. The figures shown underneath, such as other units, are conversions of the same answer.

Mistakes to avoid with leetspeak

Do not use leetspeak as a way to strengthen a password. Cracking tools try these swaps first. Also, some swaps make text hard to read, so keep important messages in plain text. Digits and symbols may be read aloud by screen readers in confusing ways.

On phone and computer

On a phone, type into the boxes one after another and read the leetspeak underneath; Copy result puts it on the clipboard for a message or a note. On a computer the inputs sit on the left and the answer on the right, so you can change one figure and watch the leetspeak move. The leetspeak converter works the same on both. For text effects, Fancy Text Generator offers stylish letters and Reverse Text flips the line. Case Converter changes capitals before you convert, and Password Generator is a better choice when the text is for a real login.
