A reverse text tool flips text in a chosen way. Reversing characters turns Hello into olleH. Reversing the word order turns one two three into three two one, and reversing lines flips a list from bottom to top.

People use it for puzzles, palindrome checks, social media posts, coding exercises and quick list sorting by date when the newest item is at the bottom.

How to use the reverse text tool

1. Paste or type your text.
2. Choose characters, word order or line order.
3. Copy the reversed result.

How the reverse text tool works

Background: what to know before you rely on it

Reversing a string is one of the most common programming exercises because it shows how a language handles characters, arrays and loops. It also shows an important detail: some visible symbols, such as emoji or letters with accents, are made of more than one code unit. A careless reverse can break them. This tool works with whole characters, so the result stays readable. Reversed text is also a small part of word play, from palindromes such as level and radar to mirror writing.
