Reverse Text

Reverse Text turns text around in one of four ways. Characters writes the whole text backwards, so “Hello world” becomes “dlrow olleH” and the last line comes first. Word order keeps each word as it is but reverses their order on every line. Each word reverses the letters inside every word and keeps the words where they are. Line order flips a list so the last line is at the top. Unlike most reversers, it works on what you see rather than on the codes underneath: a flag such as 🇮🇳, a thumbs-up with a skin tone, a family emoji, an accented letter typed as a letter plus an accent, and a Devanagari syllable with its vowel sign or a conjunct joined by a halant all stay in one piece instead of breaking into strange symbols. When a single line reads the same both ways, the page tells you it’s a palindrome.

1. Type or paste text into the box, or press Try an example.
2. Choose how to reverse it: Characters, Word order, Each word or Line order.
3. The result appears as you type. Copy it, download it, or press the swap button to reverse the result again.

• How text is split into visible characters comes from your browser. Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox keep a whole Devanagari conjunct together; an older browser may split a conjunct at its halant, though vowel signs still stay with their letter.
• Reversed Hindi, Tamil or Arabic text is reversed letter by letter, so it won’t read as words — that’s the point of reversing, but it’s not a translation or a mirror image.
• Right-to-left text, such as Arabic or Urdu, is reversed in the order it’s stored, so on screen it may look as if it hasn’t moved.
• Word order and Each word split words at spaces. Punctuation stays attached to its word, so “Hello, world!” becomes “world! Hello,” in Word order.
• The palindrome check ignores capitals, spaces and punctuation, and only runs on a single line.
• Reversing happens in your browser. Your text isn’t uploaded or saved, and it’s gone when you leave the page.

Many emoji are several codes joined together — a flag is two letters, a skin tone is a separate code after the emoji, and a family is several people joined by invisible characters. A simple reverser flips those codes too, leaving the wrong flag or a lone colour square. This tool reverses whole emoji, so they come out as they went in.

A word or sentence that reads the same backwards as forwards once you ignore capitals, spaces and punctuation, such as “level”, “Never odd or even” or “A man, a plan, a canal: Panama”. Type one on a single line and the page says so.

Paste the list, one item per line, and choose Line order. Each line stays as it was; only their order is flipped. To sort the list instead, use Sort Lines.

No. Mirror and upside-down text replace letters with look-alike symbols from other alphabets, which screen readers read out as nonsense and search engines can’t find. This tool only changes the order of the characters you give it.
