Does XOR Text upload my file or text to Tool-You servers?

No. XOR Text runs in this browser tab. Files stay on the device. Limit note: Empty text/key fails.

Should I use XOR Hex instead of XOR Text?

Use XOR Text when you need XOR text with key length. Use XOR Hex when you need Bytewise XOR of two hex strings; optional uppercase. They share a category (Crypto) but not the same job.

XOR Text

XOR text with key length.

XOR text with a key and emit hex. Reports byte length and key length so reversible obfuscation demos stay inspectable in the browser.

What XOR Text does

XOR text with a key and emit hex. Reports byte length and key length so reversible obfuscation demos stay inspectable in the browser.

The interactive controls for XOR Text load after this article so crawlers still read the instructions. Path /crypto/xor-text is the canonical address. Work happens on this device; Tool-You does not take a copy of the file or pasted text for XOR Text.

How to use XOR Text

Keep this tab on XOR Text (/crypto/xor-text). Pasting into the wrong Crypto tool (for example XOR Hex) changes the job.
Paste or type the input XOR Text expects. Path hint: crypto · xor text. XOR text with key length.
Apply the XOR Text action only. AND Hex is a different transform (Bytewise AND of two hex strings; optional uppercase.). XOR text with a key and emit hex. Reports byte length and key length so reversible obfuscation demos stay inspectable in the browser.
Copy the output of XOR Text if you need it elsewhere. Size/complexity still follows: Empty text/key fails.
If the text job is actually Bytewise XOR of two hex strings; optional uppercase., leave XOR Text and open XOR Hex.

When not to use XOR Text

Skip XOR Text when a neighbor tool matches better — start with XOR Hex or AND Hex — or when the description already warns the job will fail. In the tool’s own words: XOR text with a key and emit hex. Reports byte length and key length so reversible obfuscation demos stay inspectable in the browser.
