Reverse text by characters, words or lines.

How do you reverse text?
You can reverse text three ways: character mode reverses the whole string, word mode reverses the sequence of words, and line mode reverses the order of lines. Character reversal works per Unicode code unit, which suits most everyday text. For example, "Toolzio" reversed by characters becomes "oizlooT".
Understanding your result
Character reversal works per Unicode code unit, which suits most everyday text.
Formula and method
Character mode reverses the whole string; word mode reverses the sequence of words; line mode reverses the order of lines.
Assumptions and limitations
Character reversal works per Unicode code unit, so most everyday text flips correctly, but some emoji or combined characters made of several code units may not reverse cleanly. The tool changes order only; it does not translate, encode or decode text. Everything runs locally in your browser with no upload.
Worked example
“Toolzio” reversed by characters becomes “oizlooT”.
How to use this tool
- Paste your text.
- Choose what to reverse.
- Copy the result.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting word mode to reverse letters — it only reorders whole words.
About the Reverse Text
Reverse text in three ways: flip the characters, reverse the order of words, or reverse the order of lines.
Who should use this tool
Puzzle makers, developers testing string handling, and anyone who needs text flipped for a mirror effect, a word game or a quick check. If you want to reverse characters, reverse the order of words, or flip the sequence of lines in a list, this offers all three modes in one place.
Benefits
- Reverse by characters, words or whole lines
- Flip line order to invert a list top to bottom
- Handles everyday text and most Unicode reliably
- Runs entirely in your browser with nothing stored
Practical use cases
- Creating mirror-style or backwards text for a design
- Reversing the order of items in a list
- Testing how software handles reversed strings
- Making a simple word puzzle or hidden message

Frequently asked questions
Can it reverse line order?
Yes. Choose “Lines” to flip the order of lines top-to-bottom.
What is the difference between reversing characters and words?
Character mode flips the entire string so the last letter comes first, turning Toolzio into oizlooT. Word mode keeps each word intact but reverses their order, so the last word appears first. Pick character mode for mirror effects and word mode to invert word sequence.
Will reversing affect emoji or accented characters?
Most accented letters and everyday characters reverse correctly. Reversal works on individual code units, so a few emoji or characters built from several combined units may not flip cleanly. For plain text and standard punctuation, results are reliable across all three modes.
