Reverse Text

Reverse text in four ways: flip every character so the whole text reads backwards, reverse the order of words, reverse the order of lines, or mirror each line on its own. Emoji, flags and accented letters stay intact. Works offline in your browser.

How to use the reverse text

  1. Type or paste your text on the left. The reversed version appears on the right as you type.
  2. Choose Characters for backwards text, Word order to put the last word first, Line order to flip a list, or Flip each line to mirror every line separately.
  3. Copy the result, download it, or click “Use as input” to reverse it again and get the original back.

Features

  • Grapheme-aware reversal: 👨‍👩‍👧, 🇮🇳 and é are kept whole instead of being split into broken code points
  • Reverse word order while keeping the original spacing
  • Reverse the order of lines to flip a list or a log
  • Mirror each line independently
  • Instant, offline, with copy and download

Why emoji and accents need special care

What looks like one character on screen is often several code units underneath. A family emoji is several emoji joined with invisible zero-width joiners, a flag is two regional indicator symbols, and an accented letter may be a base letter followed by a combining mark. Naive reversal splits these apart and produces garbled output. This tool segments text into user-perceived characters (grapheme clusters) using the browser's Intl.Segmenter before reversing, so every visible symbol survives.

What people use it for

Creating mirror text for puzzles and social posts, checking whether a word or phrase is a palindrome, reversing a list of steps, flipping the order of lines in a log file so the newest entry is first, or generating backwards text for design mock-ups.

Frequently asked questions

Will reversing the text twice give me the original back?

Yes. Every mode is its own inverse. Click “Use as input” and the same mode will restore the original text exactly.

Does Word order reverse the letters inside each word too?

No. Word order only changes the sequence of words on each line; the letters within each word are untouched. Use Characters to reverse everything, or Flip each line to reverse letters line by line.

Why do some emoji still look different after reversing?

Reversal keeps each emoji intact, but skin-tone and joiner sequences are only preserved when your browser supports Intl.Segmenter. All current browsers do; very old ones fall back to code-point reversal.
