🧭 Introduction

ConverText is a powerful, fun, all-in-one text transformation tool designed to instantly convert any text you type into a huge range of formats, encodings, styles, scripts, and avant-garde aesthetic variations.

Think of it as a text swiss-army knife.
A single input → dozens of outputs.

The app runs fully in your browser.
No server.
No database.
No tracking.
No internet required.

Just pure, instant conversion.

📝 How to Use ConverText

1. Type anything into the main text box at the top.
   A word, a sentence, a paragraph — anything.

2. As soon as you type, ConverText automatically updates every output box.

3. Scroll down to browse dozens of formats:

   • encodings

   • data representations

   • ciphers

   • linguistic transformations

   • stylized text

   • novelty formats

4. Copy any result with one click.

That’s it — simple, fast, fun, powerful.

⚙️ How ConverText Works (Under the Hood)

ConverText is built entirely on HTML5 + CSS + JavaScript with zero dependencies.
Every transformation uses small, efficient JS functions.

The system:

• Takes the raw input string

• Splits it into characters

• Runs each character through a library of converter functions

• Updates all UI components live (as-you-type)

Because it uses no external libraries, it is:

• extremely fast

• extremely lightweight

• private and offline

• portable to any device or browser

🔡 Conversion Types & What They Mean

Global character standard. Shows each character as U+XXXX.

UTF-8 / UTF-16 Byte Output

Shows the raw bytes the computer stores to represent the text.

Hexadecimal

Base-16 representation of each character or byte.

Binary

1s and 0s representing characters or bytes.

Octal

Base-8 numeric encoding.

Decimal (Code Units)

Shows each character’s underlying number.

Base64

Common encoding for web data, emails, and binary-to-text transmission.

Base32

A more compact alphanumeric encoding format (RFC 4648).

HTML Entities

Escaped text safe for HTML rendering (&, A, etc.)

URL Encoding

Converts characters to %xx format for safe web URLs.

JSON Encoding

Escapes characters using JSON syntax (e.g., \n, \t).

➤ 2. Cryptographic / Classic Ciphers

ROT13

Popular, simple rotation cipher used online.

Caesar Cipher

Leet Speak (1337 / h4x0r)

Replaces letters with numbers and symbols (e.g., “Hacker” → “H4ck3r”).

Vaporwave / Aesthetic / Full-Width

Converts normal ASCII characters into ｖｉｂｅｙ ｗｉｄｅ ｔｅｘｔ.

Reverse Text

“hello” → “olleh”.

Upside-Down Text

Uses Unicode flips such as: hello → ɥǝllo (or a close equivalent depending on characters).

Mirror Text

Uses left-right mirrored Unicode characters.

Zalgo / Glitch Text

Adds combining diacritic marks above/below/through text for a chaotic “corrupted” look.

Bubble Text ⓐⓑⓒ

Wraps characters in bubble-style Unicode circles.

Square Text 🄰🄱🄲

Enclosed square letter symbols.

Circled Text ⒶⒷⒸ

Another stylistic circled alphabet.

Monospace / Typewriter

Converts everything to fixed-width characters (𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚘).

Bold Unicode

Creates thick, bold letterforms (𝐁𝐎𝐋𝐃).

Italic Unicode

Slanted typographic letters (𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐).

Bold Italic

(𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝑰𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒄)

Double-Struck (Math Blackboard)

𝔻𝕠𝕦𝕓𝕝𝕖-𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕔𝕜 (like ℤ ℚ ℝ ℕ).

Script / Calligraphic

𝒮𝒸𝓇𝒾𝓅𝓉 𝓉ℯ𝓍𝓉 like handwriting.

Gothic / Blackletter

𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠 medieval-style characters.

Small Caps

ᴛɪɴʏ ᴜᴘᴘᴇʀᴄᴀsᴇ ᴀᴇsᴛʜᴇᴛɪᴄ.

➤ 5. Fun / Novelty Transformations
