About Lua Deobfuscator Helper

A Lua deobfuscator is used to turn scrambled or minified Lua back into code a person can read. Paste a script and this helper reindents its blocks, decodes calls like string.char(72,105) into the text they spell, unescapes \xNN and \ddd sequences, and can convert hex numbers to decimal. It is a heuristic readability helper for Lua and Roblox Luau source, not a full decompiler.

Key Features

Reindents function, if, for, while, do, and repeat blocks
Decodes string.char byte sequences back into text
Unescapes \xNN and \ddd sequences inside string literals
Optionally converts hex number literals to decimal
Leaves Luau type annotations and backtick strings as they are, so Roblox scripts stay valid
Each step has its own switch, so you can decode strings without reformatting the file

Use Cases

Skim minified Lua to understand what a script does
Restore indentation on scripts pulled from game files
Turn string.char noise into readable string literals
Check what a Roblox script from a free model or a Discord server does before you run it in Studio
Review a suspicious Lua payload during an incident without uploading it to a third-party service

Supported Formats

.luau

.txt

Is this a Lua decompiler?

No. A decompiler such as unluac turns compiled Lua bytecode (a .luac file, or data that starts with the bytes \27Lua) back into source code. This helper works on Lua source that has been made hard to read, and it cleans up the layout and the strings. If what you have is bytecode, decompile it first, then paste the result here to tidy it up.

Scripts stay in your browser

Deobfuscation runs locally in JavaScript. Nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server, which matters when the script came from an untrusted source.
