About the Morse Code Converter

The Morse Code Converter is a versatile online tool that allows for seamless two-way translation between standard text and Morse code. Developed in the 1830s by Samuel Morse, Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks. Each character in the alphabet and numbers is represented by a unique sequence of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). This tool is perfect for hobbyists, students, or anyone curious about this historic and foundational method of telecommunication. All conversions are performed instantly in your browser, ensuring your data remains private.

How to Use the Tool

Our converter is designed to be intuitive and flexible, supporting both encoding text to Morse and decoding Morse back to text.
