Reverse Text
Reverse text online by character, word order or line-by-line. Use this text reverser to flip letters, reverse words or mirror lines for social posts, puzzles, typographic effects and quick text transformations.
How to use
- Paste or type your text into the editor.
- Select a mode: Full text, Line by line, or Words.
- Click Reverse, then copy or export the reversed string for use in documents, social media or code snippets.
Modes (reverse letters, words, lines)
- Full text — reverses every character in the entire input as a single sequence (use to create backwards text or mirror text).
- Line by line — reverses characters inside each line independently while keeping the original line order (useful for reversing lines in poetry or logs).
- Words — reverses the order of words but preserves characters inside each word (e.g., "hello world" → "world hello").
Examples
Mode: Full text Input: Hello, world! Output: !dlrow ,olleH Mode: Line by line Input: first line second line Output: enil tsrif enil dnoces Mode: Words Input: Hello beautiful world Output: world beautiful Hello
Behavior & limits
- Punctuation & whitespace: Punctuation and spaces are treated as characters and move during reversal. Clean or normalize punctuation first with Remove Punctuation or Remove Non-Alphanumeric if you want different results.
- Multiline handling: Full-text mode reverses across the whole input; line-by-line mode reverses each line separately.
- Unicode support: The tool reorders characters and supports all Unicode text. It is designed for Latin scripts but will operate on non-Latin characters; rendering and visual direction for RTL scripts (Arabic, Hebrew) depend on the browser.
- Selection and partial reversing: To reverse only part of a document, paste the selection you want reversed into the editor.
- Performance: Suitable for short and medium texts. Very large inputs may slow down depending on your browser and device.
Tips & edge cases
- For reversing list order (not content), use Reverse List.
- Combine with Case Converter to change letter case before or after reversing.
- Use Remove Spaces to normalize whitespace if spacing affects the reversed output.
- For structured CSV or tabular data, convert to plain text columns first and restore structure after reversal.
FAQ
Will reversing work on Arabic, Hebrew or other RTL scripts?
The tool reorders characters and supports Unicode, so it will reverse RTL text as a character sequence. Visual direction and proper reading order depend on the browser’s rendering; always verify RTL results visually.
Does reversing preserve punctuation and spaces?
Punctuation and spaces are treated as characters and will move when reversing. If you prefer punctuation to stay in place, clean or adjust the text first using Remove Punctuation or Remove Spaces.
Can I reverse only certain lines or words?
Yes. Paste only the lines or words you want reversed into the editor, or reverse the whole input and then extract the portion you need.
Is there a limit to the text size?
There is no fixed server-side limit; performance depends on your browser and device. For very large documents, process the text in smaller chunks.
