Caesar Cipher Encoder & Decoder

Encode or decode text with a Caesar cipher — letter substitution by a fixed shift amount.

What is Caesar Cipher Encoder & Decoder?

The Caesar cipher is one of the oldest known encryption methods, dating back to Julius Caesar's military correspondence around 50 BC. Each letter is shifted by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet. With only 25 possible keys, it's trivially broken — but it's a great teaching tool for understanding cryptography fundamentals.
