Reverse Text Generator

This reverse text generator flips whatever you type so the last character comes first. Use it to write a message backwards for fun, to check a palindrome, to reverse a list line by line, or to make a puzzle that has to be read in a mirror. Reversing is done on visible characters, which means accented letters and emoji survive the trip instead of turning into broken symbols the way a naive reversal would leave them. The text you enter never leaves your browser: the reversal is a few lines of JavaScript running locally, so you can safely reverse private notes. Copy the result out with one click when you are happy with it.

What to reverse

The whole text back to front: "hello world" to "dlrow olleh".

Enter some text to reverse it.

How to use the reverse text generator

  1. Type or paste the text you want to reverse.
  2. Read the reversed version as it updates on every keystroke.
  3. Choose whether to reverse the whole string, the word order, or each line on its own.
  4. Copy the result to your clipboard.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between reversing characters and reversing words?
Reversing characters turns 'hello world' into 'dlrow olleh'. Reversing word order keeps each word readable and turns it into 'world hello'. Both are useful, so the tool offers each.
Will emoji and accented characters break?
No. The reversal works on visible characters rather than raw code units, so 'café 👍' reverses cleanly instead of producing broken glyphs.
Can I use this to check a palindrome?
Yes. Reverse the text and compare it to the original. Remember that palindromes usually ignore spaces, punctuation, and letter case.
Is reversed text the same as upside-down text?
No. Reversed text reads right to left using ordinary letters. Upside-down text substitutes different Unicode characters that look like rotated letters. This tool does the former.
