Reverse Text (Characters, Words or Lines)
Flip text backwards by character, word or line, with emoji and accents kept intact instead of scrambled.
Palindrome: this reads the same in both directions.
Free forever, no sign-up and no limits, and this tool installs on its own so you can keep it on your home screen.
Flip text backwards three ways: character by character, word order within each line, or the order of the lines themselves. Emoji and accented letters survive intact, most reversers shred them.
How to use it
- Paste your textAnything, a sentence, a list, a paragraph.
- Pick what to flipCharacters gives mirror-style text; word order and line order rearrange without touching the letters.
- Copy the resultOne tap and it is on your clipboard.
Three different questions
"Reverse this text" means three different things, and tools that pick one silently frustrate the people who meant another. Character reversal mirrors the letters themselves, the party-trick mode, and the one palindrome hunters want. Word-order reversal keeps every word readable but runs each line back to front. Line-order reversal leaves all the text alone and flips the sequence, the practical mode for logs, chat exports and lists that arrived upside down.
The segmented control makes the choice explicit, and the result updates live so a wrong guess costs one tap.
The character-splitting detail
The reason many reversers mangle modern text: what looks like one character is often several under the hood. A thumbs-up with a skin tone is four pieces; é can be two; a flag is a pair. Reverse the pieces and the glue breaks. This tool segments text the way a reader counts characters (the same Unicode rules our word counter uses) so every visible character travels as one unit. Boring correctness, but it is the difference between a reversed sentence and confetti.
Questions people ask
Why do other reversers break emoji?
Because they reverse the underlying code units, and an emoji or an accented letter is often stored as several. Flip those pieces and you get broken symbols. This tool splits text into what a reader sees as single characters first, so 👍🏽 and é come through whole.
What is character reversal used for?
Mostly play and puzzles, mirror text, social bios, checking palindromes. 'Was it a car or a cat I saw' reads the same both ways once spaces are ignored, and when your input qualifies, a quiet Palindrome badge appears to confirm it, ignoring case, spaces and punctuation.
What about reversing word order?
It turns 'red big house' into 'house big red', useful for fixing lists that arrived backwards, building name-last formats, and the occasional language exercise. Each line reverses independently, so a list keeps its shape.
And line order?
Last line first. Handy for logs and chat exports that arrived newest-first when you need oldest-first, or the reverse. It pairs well with the sort tool next door.
Does it handle right-to-left languages?
It reverses the stored order of characters, which for Arabic or Hebrew interacts with the display order in ways that can surprise, the result is technically reversed but may render unexpectedly. That is a property of how right-to-left text works, not a bug either here or on your screen.
Can I use this to write upside-down text?
No. Reversing changes the order of the characters, it does not flip their shapes, so a reversed word is still made of ordinary letters reading left to right. Upside-down text swaps every letter for a different Unicode character that happens to look inverted, which is a separate job.
