Reverse Text Generator

Flip text backwards character by character, reverse word order, or reverse the order of lines — instantly and locally.

Reversal happens locally in your browser.

What Reversal Breaks: Emoji, Accents and RTL

Character-by-character reversal breaks on anything stored as more than one code point: emoji made of a base character plus modifiers can come out garbled, and accented letters stored as base + combining mark (e.g. "e" + U+0301) end up with the accent on the wrong letter. This tool reverses by Unicode code points; languages written right-to-left are also tricky, because reversing a Hebrew or Arabic string changes the character order but the browser then renders the logical order again — visually double-reversing it.

Where It Is Actually Used

  • Palindrome checks in coding exercises and interview screening.
  • Mirrored text for stencil/iron-on transfers, where the design must print mirrored.
  • Simple obfuscation of spoiler or answer strings in quizzes and games.

What Gets Reversed

  1. Type or paste your text.
  2. Choose the reversal mode: characters (mirror writing), words (last word first), or lines (bottom to top).
  3. The reversed result appears immediately — copy it or download it as a .txt file.
Formula & Technical Standard
Character mode reverses code points via Array.from(text).reverse() (grapheme-safe split); word mode splits on whitespace boundaries and reorders tokens; line mode reverses the split(/ ? /) array.

Example Input & Output

Character reversal
Input: Hello world
Output: dlrow olleH
Every character including spaces is flipped, producing classic mirror writing.
Line reversal for logs
Input: Log lines in chronological order
Output: Newest entries first
Reversing line order turns a chronological log into a newest-first view without touching the lines themselves.

Common Questions

Does emoji survive reversal?

Multi-character emoji sequences can break apart when reversed character by character. Plain text, accented letters, and single-codepoint emoji reverse cleanly.

Why would I reverse lines instead of characters?

Line reversal is a common trick for reading logs newest-first or for reversing the order of lists without resorting manually.
