Reverse Text

Paste or type any text and choose how to reverse it. The tool offers five modes so you can flip exactly the way you need.

Reverse modes

  • Reverse characters: Flips every character in the entire block of text. "Hello World" becomes "dlroW olleH".
  • Reverse words: Keeps characters intact but reverses word order across the whole text.
  • Reverse lines: Keeps each line intact but reverses the order of the lines.
  • Reverse characters on each line: Reverses characters independently within each line, preserving the line order.
  • Reverse words on each line: Reverses word order within each line independently.

Unicode support

The reversal is Unicode-aware and handles multi-byte characters (accented letters, emoji, CJK characters) correctly. Characters are counted and reversed by code point, not byte.

Use cases

  • Obfuscating email addresses: reversing an email address (e.g., moc.elpmaxe@resu) makes it harder for bots to harvest it from web pages while still being human-readable.
  • Mirrored signage: text reversed for display in a mirror, useful in ambulance livery design, emergency vehicle markings, and stage productions.
  • Palindrome candidates: reversing a word and checking if it matches the original is the simplest palindrome test.
  • Creative writing and ciphers: reversed text is an entry-level substitution used in puzzle design, ARGs (alternate reality games), and children’s secret languages.

Palindrome connection

A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards. Classic examples:

  • racecar
  • level
  • A man, a plan, a canal: Panama (ignoring spaces and punctuation)
  • Was it a car or a cat I saw?

To test a word with this tool: reverse it and see if the result matches the original.
