Reverse text
Use this tool to reverse text: write the letters backwards, reverse the order of words or lines, or turn the text upside down. “Hello world” becomes “dlrow olleH”. Your text stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.

How it is calculated
How to reverse text
- Paste or type your text in the box.
- Under “What to reverse” choose a variant – the result appears immediately.
- Use “Copy” to put it on the clipboard.
The five variants
- All characters backwards: “Hello world” becomes “dlrow olleH”. Accented letters and emoji with skin tones stay together and do not fall apart.
- Order of words: “one two three” becomes “three two one”; the words themselves stay readable.
- Order of lines: the last line goes to the top – handy for lists.
- Letters in each word: every word is reversed on its own, the word order stays.
- Upside down: the text is rotated and letters are replaced by look-alike Unicode characters (“Hello” → “ollǝH”), so it can be pasted into profiles and chats.
Spotting palindromes
With “All characters backwards” the tool also checks whether the text is a palindrome, such as “Anna” or “A man, a plan, a canal: Panama”. Spaces, punctuation, accents and case are ignored.
Honest limits
Upside-down text is a character trick: not every font contains all the characters used, and some letters only have an approximate counterpart. Right-to-left scripts are reversed character by character only. This tool does not produce mirror-image writing as seen in a mirror.
Frequently asked questions
How can I reverse text online?
Paste the text, choose “All characters backwards” and copy the result. No account is needed.
How do I reverse text in Word?
Just paste the reversed text from here into Word. To mirror a text box, use Rotate → Flip Horizontal in Word.
How do I turn text upside down?
Choose “Upside down”. It swaps letters for Unicode characters that look rotated by 180 degrees.
How do I reverse the order of lines or words?
Use “Order of lines” or “Order of words” – the content of each line and word stays unchanged.
Is my text stored?
No. The conversion runs in your browser; the text is not sent, saved or added to the address bar.
