Three conversion levels
Basic applies only the best-known swaps: a→4, e→3, i→1, o→0, s→5, t→7. Advanced adds b→8, g→9, l→1 and z→2 on top. Extreme renders letters as multi-character symbols, for example m→|v|, w→\/\/, x→>< and h→|-|. Your input is transformed live in the panel on the right according to the level you pick, and you can copy the result with a single click.
Frequently asked questions
What is leet speak?
It is a writing style born in late-1980s and 1990s online communities, where letters are replaced by similar-looking digits and symbols. The word 'leet' is itself the leet form of 'elite', written 1337.
Can I convert leet text back to normal?
This tool works one way, from normal text to leet. Because one character can map to several symbols, especially at the extreme level, the output is not always reversible.
Do numbers and spaces get changed?
No. Only matching letters are converted; digits, spaces and any character not in the map are kept exactly as you typed them.
