Leetspeak

Leetspeak. A classical cipher, computed on your device.

Runs on your device. The file is never uploaded.

Leetspeak swaps six letters of your text for digits: a becomes 4, e 3, i 1, o 0, s 5 and t 7, in either case. Every other character is left as typed. No decoder ships with it, and the swap cannot be undone exactly, because a 1 in the output might have started life as a digit.

Questions

Which letters get replaced?

Six of them: a becomes 4, e becomes 3, i becomes 1, o becomes 0, s becomes 5 and t becomes 7. Both cases are matched. Every other character is left alone.

How do I convert it back?

By hand, or with Find and replace. There is no decoder here, and one cannot be exact: a 1 in the output might have been an i or might have been a digit in your original text.

Does this make a password stronger?

No. Every password cracker applies these substitutions by default, so a leetspeak version of a dictionary word is treated as that dictionary word. Use Passphrase generate instead.

Why did some letters stay normal?

Only those six have a replacement in this tool. Longer leetspeak tables exist and vary by community, so two tools rarely produce identical output.
