Four ways to reverse text
| Mode | "Hello big world" becomes |
|---|---|
| Reverse all letters | dlrow gib olleH |
| Reverse word order | world big Hello |
| Reverse each word | olleH gib dlrow |
| Reverse line order | (the last line becomes the first) |
Choose a mode and the reversed text appears instantly on the right. Your original text stays unchanged on the left.
Emoji and accented letters stay intact
Many simple reverse tools break emoji, flags and accented letters because they reverse the underlying code units instead of the characters you actually see. This tool reverses by visible character, so 👍🏽, 🇵🇰 and letters like é come out whole, just in the reversed position.
What it's used for
- Puzzles and games: hide answers, create word games or write secret messages for friends.
- Palindromes: check whether a word or phrase reads the same backwards, like "racecar" or "level".
- Lists and logs: reverse line order to turn a newest-last log or list into newest-first.
- Social media: backwards text makes an eye-catching username, bio or caption.
- Testing: developers use reversed strings to test how software handles unusual input.
Right-to-left languages
Reversing letters is not the same as converting text to a right-to-left language. Arabic, Urdu and Hebrew are stored in reading order and displayed right to left automatically by your browser, so you don't need to reverse them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write text backwards?
Paste or type your text in the left box and choose "Reverse all letters". Copy the result from the right box.
What is the difference between reversing words and reversing letters?
Reversing letters flips every character, so the words become unreadable. Reversing word order keeps each word readable but swaps their positions.
Is this the same as mirror text?
Reversed text changes the order of the letters. True mirror text also flips each letter's shape, which normal fonts can't do.
Does it work with multiple lines?
Yes. Letter and word reversal work line by line or on the whole text, and "Reverse line order" flips the order of lines while keeping each line unchanged.
