Homoglyph & Spoofed-Text Detector finds look-alike characters (e.g. a Cyrillic “а” posing as a Latin “a”), invisible characters, and mixed-script spoofing in text or URLs, then outputs a safe ASCII version. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Detect sneaky look-alike characters used in phishing and impersonation. Attackers swap ordinary Latin letters for identical-looking characters from other alphabets — a Cyrillic “а” instead of a Latin “a”, a Greek “ο” instead of an “o”, full-width letters, or invisible zero-width characters — to spoof domains, brand names, usernames, and links. Paste any text or URL and this tool highlights every confusable character, tells you which script it really comes from and which letter it imitates, warns about mixed-script and invisible characters, and gives you a clean ASCII-safe version. Everything runs locally in your browser.
The Homoglyph & Spoofed-Text Detector quickly identifies look-alike characters, mixed-script trickery, and invisible zero-width symbols in domains, usernames, and URLs. It runs entirely client-side in the browser to ensure complete data privacy without requiring signups, installations, or uploads. Users also receive an immediate, clean ASCII-safe version of the inspected text.
Good to know: This tool is designed for analyzing text strings and URLs within the browser, so users requiring automated, large-scale batch processing or programmatic API access may need to look for alternative enterprise solutions.
