Morse code translator

Free Morse Code Translator — Translate English to Morse Code Online

ConverticTools’ free Morse code translator turns English text into Morse code — and Morse code back into English — instantly, right in your browser. No sign-up, no fees, nothing to install. Type, paste or upload your text, then copy the result, download it as a text file, or download the sound itself as a WAV file. You can also upload a whole file — TXT, PDF or Word — and translate its text in one go.

How to Use This Translator

Type or paste your text in the top box (or upload a file) — the Morse code appears instantly below.
Press Play to hear it, or use Copy / Download to save it.
To go the other way, use the Swap button and type Morse code to read it back in English.

The quick preset buttons — SOS, HELLO WORLD and I LOVE YOU — fill in a ready example with one tap, which is the fastest way to see how it works.

Text to Morse Code

Type letters, numbers and punctuation into the top box and the Morse code appears in the bottom box. Characters that cannot be translated are shown as #. Want to send a message instead of just translating one? Use the secret-message link to turn any text into a Morse puzzle for a friend.

Morse Code to Text

Type Morse code using . for a dot and - for a dash — or tap the DOT and DASH buttons. Letters are separated by spaces and words by “/”. The plain-English translation appears instantly.

Sound, Light & Vibration

Press Play to hear your message as real Morse beeps. Control the speed (WPM), the pitch and the volume, and watch the lamp flash in time with the signal. On a phone, turn on vibration to feel the code in your hand — the way many learners practise. Repeat mode loops the message for training, and Stop ends playback any time. You can also download the sound as a WAV file to practise offline.

Send a Secret Message

The “Create secret-message link” button hides your words inside a link. Your friend opens it, hears only the beeps, and tries to decode the message by ear before revealing the answer. Share it on WhatsApp, Telegram, X or Facebook. Short of ideas? Pick from the Secret Messages library — 15 ready-made messages like good night, happy birthday and thank you — and send one as a puzzle link.
