Ways to send I love you in Morse code
You don't need a radio. Any short and long signal works:
- Tap it: on a table, a hand or a shoulder. A quick tap for a dot, a press about three times longer for a dash, and a pause between letters.
- Flash a light: a flashlight or a lamp, short and long. Press Play and watch the lamp on the page to see the rhythm first.
- Wear it: a bracelet or necklace with short and long beads, or dots and dashes engraved on a ring. Copy the code from the tool so the spacing is right.
- Write it: on a card or a note, as a small puzzle they can solve with the Morse code decoder.
- Play it: press Download WAV and send the sound file.
I love you too, ILY and other replies
I love you too adds one word: .. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..- / - --- ---
ILY is the short form, .. .-.. -.-- as one word, and it is the fastest to tap. 143 means I love you by counting letters, but numbers are 5 symbols each in Morse code, so .---- ....- ...-- takes longer than writing it out. Radio operators send 88 for love and kisses.
The lists above have more. To see how any letter is built, use the Morse code alphabet.
Add their name and send a link
Type their name after I love you, for example I love you, Sam, and the code updates at once. Press Share link to copy a link that opens this page with your message in the tool. They press Play and hear it.
The message is written into the link itself, so anyone who has the link can read it. We don't store it. Names with accents work too: É, Ñ, Ü and a few others have their own codes, and other accented letters are sent without the accent.
For a sound file to put in a video or a voice message, the Morse code generator has the speed and tone settings open.
