Text Reverser
Reverse any text so the characters run from last to first.
About this tool
The text reverser flips any text so the characters run from last to first — type or paste something in, and the reversed version appears straight away.
People reach for this for a surprising range of reasons. It's a quick way to create a light bit of visual obfuscation for a puzzle, a playful social post or a caption; it's useful for testing how software handles reversed or right-to-left strings; and it's a handy teaching aid when you want to show how a string is just an ordered sequence of characters. Developers sometimes use a reversed string while checking palindrome logic, and writers occasionally reverse a line to break their own familiarity with it and proofread more carefully.
Reversing by hand is tedious and easy to get wrong once a string is more than a few characters long. Doing it in one pass is instant and exact, and you can reverse the result again to get back precisely what you started with.
The reversal happens in your browser as you type, so nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it reverse by character or by word?
- By character — the entire string is flipped end to end, so "hello" becomes "olleh". If you need word order reversed instead, that's a different operation from this one.
- Can I get my original text back?
- Yes. Reversing the reversed text returns exactly what you started with, since the operation is its own inverse.
- Does it handle punctuation and spaces?
- Yes. Every character is treated the same way, including spaces, punctuation and symbols, so they all move to their mirrored position.
- Will emoji and accented letters reverse correctly?
- Simple accented letters reverse fine. Some emoji are built from several combined characters and can behave unexpectedly when reversed, so check the result if your text contains them.
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. The reversal runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved.
