Why Use This Tool?
Reversing text sounds like one thing but is actually three: flipping the entire string character by character, mirroring the letters inside each word while keeping the words in place, and reversing the order of lines. This tool does all three with live output.
The word-mirror mode is the classic 'reading backwards' puzzle format, while line reversal is genuinely useful for flipping logs and lists built bottom-up.
How It Works
- Paste your text.
- Pick a reversal mode.
- Copy the reversed output.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reverse a string?
Choose 'Reverse characters' — every character including spaces and punctuation flips position, so the last character comes first.
How do I keep the words readable but mirrored?
Use 'Reverse letters in words' — each word's letters flip while the words stay in their original order, producing the classic backwards-reading text effect.
Can I reverse the order of lines instead?
Yes — 'Reverse line order' flips the sequence of lines without touching the characters inside them, ideal for logs and lists built bottom-up.
Tips & Things to Watch
- Word-mirror mode is great for word games and puzzle hints.
- Line order reversal pairs well with the Sort Lines tool.
- Emoji and multi-byte characters reverse as complete units, not garbled halves.
