Reverse Text
Reverse text in five ways — whole characters, each word, word order, or line order — with live character, word and line counts, plus copy and download. Runs in your browser.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded.
Note: the text is reversed in your browser with JavaScript. With JavaScript off you can read this guide, but the tool controls will not appear.
Reverse text in five ways
This tool reverses your text entirely in your browser with five modes — reverse all characters, reverse each word, reverse the word order, or reverse the line order (with or without reversing each line's characters). It shows live character, word and line counts, and lets you copy or download the result.
How it works
- Type or paste your text into the box.
- Choose a reversal mode from the dropdown.
- Click Reverse to see the result and updated counts.
- Copy or download the reversed text, or clear to start again.
Modes and examples
- Reverse characters — "Hello World" →
dlroW olleH - Reverse each word — "Hello World" →
olleH dlroW - Reverse word order — "Hello World" →
World Hello - Reverse lines (and characters) — flips the line order and each line's characters.
- Reverse line order (keep line text) — flips only the order of lines; each line's content is unchanged.
Unicode handling
Character reversal is Unicode-aware: it reverses whole characters (including emoji and most multilingual text) rather than raw bytes, so normal text isn't corrupted. Some complex scripts that rely on combining marks may not reverse perfectly — a general limitation of simple text reversal.
Uses
Reverse text is handy for creating mirror-style effects, puzzles and stylised captions, checking palindromes, or quickly flipping the order of a list of lines. Everything happens instantly and offline.
Privacy
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, stored or shared, and the tool makes no network requests.
Frequently Asked Questions
What reversal modes are available?
Five: reverse all characters (e.g. "Hello World" → "dlroW olleH"), reverse each word in place ("olleH dlroW"), reverse the order of words ("World Hello"), reverse the line order and each line's characters, or reverse only the line order while keeping each line's text.
Does it handle emoji and other languages?
Character reversal is Unicode-aware and keeps emoji and most multilingual text intact by reversing whole characters rather than bytes. Some complex scripts with combining marks may not reverse perfectly, which is a known limit of simple text reversal.
Does it show counts?
Yes. It shows live character, word and line counts as you type, so you can check the size of your text before and after reversing.
Can I copy or download the result?
Yes. After reversing you can copy the result to your clipboard or download it as a plain-text file, entirely from your browser.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The text is reversed locally in your browser. It is never uploaded, stored or shared, and the tool makes no network requests.
