Text Reverser

Reverse text by characters, words, or lines. Instantly flip your text — great for fun, puzzles and encoding.

e.g. Hello becomes olleH

How to Use

  1. 1

    Enter your text

    Type or paste the text you want to reverse.

  2. 2

    Choose reverse mode

    Select Characters (olleH), Words (World Hello), or Lines (last line first).

  3. 3

    Copy the result

    The reversed text appears instantly — click Copy to save it.

How It Works

This tool reverses text three different ways — by character, by word order, or by line order — covering the different meanings people usually intend by "reverse this text."

Three distinct reverse modes

Character mode reverses individual letters ("Hello" → "olleH"). Word mode keeps each word intact but reverses their order ("Hello World" → "World Hello"). Line mode keeps each line intact but reverses the order lines appear in (useful for flipping a list or a poem's stanza order).

Unicode-aware character reversal

Character reversal uses proper Unicode-aware splitting rather than naive string reversal, so multi-byte characters like emoji and accented letters reverse correctly as whole visual units instead of getting corrupted into broken character fragments.

Examples

Character reverse for a puzzle

"palindrome test" reversed by character becomes "tset emordnilap" — useful for checking palindromes or creating simple text puzzles.

Word reverse for stylistic effect

"The quick brown fox" reversed by word becomes "fox brown quick The".

Common Use Cases

  • Creating text puzzles, mirror-text effects, or novelty content
  • Checking whether a string is a palindrome by comparing it to its character-reversed version
  • Reversing a list's line order (e.g. flipping a chronological list to reverse-chronological) without manually retyping it

Tips

  • Make sure you're using the right mode for what you actually want — reversing "Hello World" by character gives "dlroW olleH" (letters reversed within and across words), which is different from word-mode's "World Hello" (word order flipped, spelling intact).
  • For genuinely encoding text (not just for fun), simple character reversal isn't a secure method of obfuscation — it's trivially reversible by anyone who has access to the same tool.
