Text Reverser
Reverse text three ways: by characters ("hello" to "olleh"), by words (keeps each word, flips order), or by lines (top to bottom flipped).

Use Reverse Characters to create backwards text for social media or secret messages. Reverse Words is useful for reordering sentence structure.
What is the Text Reverser?
A text reverser takes a block of text and reverses it at one of three granularities: character (mirror image), word (keeps words intact but reorders them), or line (swaps the line order top to bottom). Useful for testing input handling, generating mirror-text effects, or just for the occasional puzzle.
How to use the Text Reverser
- 1
Paste your text
Drop the source into the input pane. Any length and any line count work.
- 2
Pick a reversal mode
Reverse Characters mirrors the entire string. Reverse Words keeps words spelled normally but reverses their order. Reverse Lines flips the line order without touching the lines themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What reversal modes are available?
Three: Reverse Characters ("hello" becomes "olleh"), Reverse Words ("the quick fox" becomes "fox quick the"), and Reverse Lines (line N becomes line 1, line 1 becomes line N). Pick based on whether you want a mirror, a reordering, or a flip-top-to-bottom.
Does it handle Unicode and emojis?
Yes. Character reversal splits the string into Unicode code points before reversing, so emojis, accented letters, and non-Latin scripts come out intact. Combining characters (like the strikethrough overlay) may reattach to a different base, which is a quirk of how Unicode combines, not a bug.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser; open DevTools and watch the Network tab if you'd like to verify. Safe for source code, draft emails, or any text you wouldn't paste into a third-party server.
