## What is Hieroglyph?

What does your name look like in hieroglyphs? Type it and find out in a second, wrapped in a royal cartouche like a pharaoh's.

Hieroglyph turns names, messages and inside jokes into ancient Egyptian signs you can share. Say something to your ex without really saying it, send your crush a message they've never seen before, or hide a secret only a curious friend will decode.

HOW IT WORKS
Write a name or a message. Each sound is matched to the hieroglyph that stood for a similar sound, so your words become a line of signs. Names are framed in a cartouche, the oval the Egyptians drew around royal names.

IDEAS WHEN YOU'RE STUCK
Pick a prompt and translate it in one tap: say it to your ex, message your crush, make your bio ancient, a roast, a pep talk, an apology, a birthday shout-out, a group-chat line or a tattoo idea. A new prompt waits every day, and Surprise Me picks one for you.

SHARE IT ANYWHERE
Turn any result into a card sized for Instagram Stories and posts, TikTok, WhatsApp Status, Pinterest or X.
• Seven looks: Papyrus, Stone, Mystery, Luxury, Bold, Mono and Minimal
• Read the signs in rows or in columns
• Add a headline like "Can you read this?" and a ready-made caption
• Save the image or copy the hieroglyphs as text to paste into any chat

DECODE A MESSAGE
Got hieroglyphs from a friend? Paste them into the decoder, or tap the signs on the hieroglyph keyboard, and read the message back.

GOOD TO KNOW
Hieroglyph is a playful rendering by sound, not a word-for-word Egyptian translation. Real Egyptian writing had no vowels, many more signs and its own grammar, and the app explains this right where you see your result.

Works offline. No account needed. What you write stays on your device until you share it.
