Text Reverser
Reverse any text — flip it character by character, reverse the order of words, or reverse the order of lines.
How to use it
Type or paste your text into the input box and pick a mode. The reversed result appears on the spot and updates on every keystroke, so there is no button to press and nothing is submitted — the whole operation runs live in your browser. When the output looks right, use the copy button to place it on your clipboard. The three modes answer three different needs. Characters mode flips the text one symbol at a time, so hello becomes olleh; this is the classic mirror reversal used for puzzles, gaming tags, and quick obfuscation. Words mode keeps each word intact but reverses their order, turning the quick brown fox into fox brown quick, which is handy for reordering lists and testing sentence structure. Lines mode leaves each line untouched and flips the top-to-bottom order of the whole block, so the last line becomes the first — a fast way to invert a log, a ranking, or a chronological list. A couple of details are worth knowing. Character reversal walks the text by whole Unicode code points rather than raw bytes, so emoji, accented letters, and other non-English characters survive the flip intact instead of splitting into broken fragments. Word mode treats any run of spaces, tabs, or line breaks as a single separator, so the reversed words come back separated by one clean space and surrounding blank space is trimmed. Lines mode splits only on newlines, so spacing inside each line is preserved exactly. As a worked example, take the three lines Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Lines mode returns Gamma, Beta, Alpha. Switch to words mode on the single sentence Alpha Beta Gamma and you get Gamma Beta Alpha on one line. Switch to characters mode on Alpha alone and it becomes ahplA. Each mode leaves the others' structure alone, so you can flip characters, words, or line order independently. Reversing text is a common step when building palindromes, creating mirror-writing effects, undoing an accidental sort, or preparing test fixtures. Because everything happens on your device, it is also safe for text you would not want to send to a remote service.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it handle emoji correctly?
- Yes. Character reversal works on whole Unicode code points, so emoji and accented letters stay intact instead of breaking into garbled pieces.
- How does word reversal treat spacing?
- Word mode reverses the order of words and normalizes runs of spaces, tabs, and newlines to a single space between words.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Reversing happens entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
- What is the difference between reversing words and reversing lines?
- Words mode reverses the order of words within the text and collapses whitespace to single spaces, while lines mode keeps each line exactly as written and only flips the top-to-bottom order of the lines.
