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.
