Reverse Text
Reverse a string, mirror it, or flip the word order.
Five ways to turn text around
Reverse letters flips the whole string โ "stressed" becomes "desserts". Reverse word order keeps words intact but runs the sentence backwards; reverse each word scrambles inside words while keeping their places; reverse lines flips a list; and mirror mode substitutes visually flipped Unicode glyphs so the text reads correctly in a mirror.
The detail that separates a good reverser from a broken one: text is split into visible characters before reversing, so emoji, skin-tone modifiers and accented letters survive. Naive reversers split raw code units and turn ๐๐ฝ into garbage.
What reversed text is for
Palindrome checking and wordplay, mirror-writing practice (Leonardo da Vinci filled notebooks right-to-left), quiz answers printed upside-down-ish, social posts that stand out, and testing how software copes with unusual input. Mirror mode borrows lookalike glyphs from other alphabets โ screen readers will pronounce it oddly, so keep it decorative.
The neighbouring transformations: the fancy font generator includes a true upside-down alphabet (rotated rather than mirrored), Zalgo corrupts text downward, and the case converter handles the sensible transformations. Palindrome hunting pairs naturally with the word counter.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write text backwards?
Paste it in and choose reverse letters โ the whole string flips, so "hello" becomes "olleh". Copy the result with one click.
Does reversing break emoji?
Not here โ text is segmented into visible characters first, so emoji with skin tones and accented letters survive. Naive reversers corrupt them.
What is mirror text?
Text both reversed and drawn with flipped glyphs, so it reads correctly held to a mirror โ the style of da Vinci's notebooks.
What is a palindrome?
Text that reads the same both ways: "racecar", "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama". Reverse a candidate here and compare.
