About the Reverse Text
This Reverse Text tool turns your text around in five ways. Every character reverses the whole text so that hello becomes olleh. Word order keeps each word but puts the words on each line in the opposite order. Each word reverses the letters inside every word and leaves the spaces where they were. Line order makes the last line first. Upside down reverses the text and swaps letters and digits for look-alike characters, so it can be pasted into a message. Character reversal works on whole visible characters, so an emoji with a skin tone or a letter with an accent is not broken apart. The result updates as you type. Upside-down text uses look-alike Unicode characters, and not every font can show them. Reversing text does not make it secret. Your text stays in your browser.

Five ways to reverse text
Reversing can mean different things, so the tool offers five. Every character is the classic string reversal. Word order keeps the words spelled correctly but flips their sequence, useful for puzzles or for changing name order. Each word spells every word backwards where it stands. Line order flips a list from bottom to top. Upside down combines reversal with look-alike characters.
Switch modes with the same text in the box and compare. The result changes at once.
Emoji and accented letters
A simple reversal that works one code unit at a time breaks emoji and accents, leaving question marks or accents on the wrong letter. This tool reverses whole visible characters instead. A thumbs-up with a skin tone, a flag or a family of people is one character, and é is one character even when it is stored as an e followed by an accent. Reversing twice returns your original text.
Upside-down text for social media
Upside-down text is a fun way to stand out in a name or a post. It works because Unicode contains many characters that resemble rotated letters. Because they come from different alphabets, the look depends on the font, and some platforms filter them. Preview it in the place you will use it. Capital letters, small letters, digits and common punctuation are covered, and other characters are only reversed.
Reversing lists and lines
Line order is handy for putting the newest entries first in a log or reversing a numbered list. Each line is kept as it is, and only the order changes. To sort a list rather than reverse it, use Sort Lines, and to change capital letters, try the Case Converter. For a look-alike alphabet without reversing, use the Fancy Text Generator.

Frequently asked questions
How do I reverse text?
Paste your text and leave the mode on Every character. The Reversed box shows it backwards, so Hello, World! becomes !dlroW ,olleH. Press Copy result to take it with you.
How do I reverse the order of words?
Choose Word order. The words on each line are put in the opposite order, so one two three becomes three two one. If you want each word spelled backwards instead, choose Each word.
How do I write upside down text?
Choose Upside down, type your text and copy the result. The tool reverses the order and swaps each letter for a character that looks like it turned around, such as ɐ for a and ǝ for e. Paste it wherever plain Unicode text is allowed.
Does it work with emoji?
Yes. Reversal works on whole visible characters, so an emoji with a skin tone or a family emoji is kept in one piece, and a letter with an accent keeps its accent. Older devices may show some newer emoji as boxes, which is a font matter.
Can I reverse lines of a list?
Yes. Choose Line order and the last line becomes the first, the second-to-last becomes the second, and so on. A blank line at the end of your text becomes the first line of the result.
Why do some characters look wrong when flipped?
Upside-down text uses look-alike characters from many parts of Unicode, and not every letter has a perfect match. Some fonts and apps do not have all of them and show boxes, and some websites remove them. Letters and characters without a flipped form, such as Chinese, are only put in reverse order.
