Reverse Text
Reverse Text
Reverse your text three ways: the whole text backwards, each word reversed on its own, or the order of the words flipped. Instant and private.
Reversing text sounds like a party trick, and sometimes it is — mirrored messages, playful social posts, and puzzle answers are all popular uses. But it also has practical jobs. Designers reverse text to test layouts, programmers use reversed strings when checking data processing, teachers create reading exercises from backwards text, and anyone can use it to spot palindromes or to read a string that was accidentally stored the wrong way round.
This tool gives you three distinct kinds of reversal, because "reverse the text" can mean different things. Reversing the whole text flips every character, so the last letter becomes the first. Reversing each word keeps the words in their original positions but flips the letters inside each one. Reversing word order keeps every word spelled correctly but puts the last word first, line by line — handy for reordering lists you have pasted in the wrong sequence.
The reversal is character-safe: it works on whole Unicode characters rather than raw bytes, so accented letters and emoji are flipped as complete symbols instead of being broken apart. Everything happens in your browser, and your text never leaves your device.
How to use
- Type or paste the text you want to reverse into the top box.
- Choose one of the three buttons: whole text, each word, or word order.
- Read the result in the lower box and check it looks the way you expected.
- Click Copy Result to copy it, or Use Result as Input to reverse it again or apply a second mode.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the three modes?
Whole-text reversal turns "the cat sat" into "tas tac eht". Each-word reversal gives "eht tac tas" — words stay in place but are spelled backwards. Word-order reversal gives "sat cat the", with every word still spelled normally.
Does it work with emoji and other languages?
Yes, in most cases. The tool reverses complete Unicode characters, so emoji, accented letters, and most scripts survive intact. A few complex combined emoji made of several joined symbols may separate into their parts when reversed.
Can I reverse the text back to normal?
Yes. Every mode here is its own undo: reversing the result with the same mode restores the original exactly. Use the "Use Result as Input" button to do it in two clicks.
Is my text private?
Completely. The conversion runs in your browser on this page. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored.
