How do I reverse text online?

Type or paste your text into AnyTool Text Reverser and every reversal renders instantly as its own card with a Copy button: reverse characters, reverse word order, reverse line order, reverse each word, reverse sentence order, an upside-down flip and a mirror transform. Character reversal is Unicode-aware, so emoji and accented letters stay intact. Everything runs in your browser, so your text is never uploaded.

  • Reverse characters, word order, line order, each word and sentence order live
  • Upside-down flip (rotate-your-screen text) and a mirror transform
  • Grapheme-aware so emoji, surrogate pairs and accents like cafe do not break
  • A capitalization-preserving reverse keeps the original CAPS pattern by position
  • Per-result Copy plus copy or download all, .txt upload — 100% client-side

What is

Text Reverser

A text reverser is a tool that flips text in one or more ways — reversing the order of characters, words, lines or sentences, or mapping each character to an upside-down or mirrored look-alike — using grapheme-aware splitting so emoji and combining accents survive the reversal.

Frequently Asked Questions

No upload happens. All reversal runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device and it works offline.

Every transformation is computed locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no tracking, and the page works offline after the first load — so you can safely reverse confidential notes, names or drafts.

They split on UTF-16 code units, which cuts emoji and accents in half. AnyTool splits by grapheme, so each character stays whole.

JavaScript strings are stored as UTF-16 code units, so a naive split-and-reverse breaks a single emoji into two halves and detaches accents from their base letter, producing garbled output. AnyTool Text Reverser uses Intl.Segmenter to split text into grapheme clusters — the characters you actually see — then reverses those, so emoji, ZWJ sequences, surrogate pairs and accents like cafe remain intact.

Upside-down rotates each character 180 degrees and reverses the string; mirror flips characters left-to-right and reverses the string.

Upside-down text maps each character to a 180-degree-rotated look-alike, like a to upside-down a, and reverses the whole string so it reads correctly when you physically rotate the screen. Mirror text instead maps each character to a horizontally flipped look-alike and reverses the string so it reads correctly in a mirror. Characters with no good look-alike are left unchanged.

Yes. The reverse word order mode flips the sequence of words while leaving each word spelled normally.

Reverse word order changes only the order of the words, so hello world today becomes today world hello with every word still readable. If you instead want each word spelled backwards while keeping its position, use reverse each word, and to flip the whole string character by character use reverse characters.

Detailed Explanation

Methodology

How the Text Reverser Works

AnyTool Text Reverser transforms text entirely in the browser and renders every mode at once. Character reversal splits the input into grapheme clusters with Intl.Segmenter and reverses that array, so emoji, ZWJ sequences, surrogate pairs and combining accents are never cut apart. Word, line and sentence modes reorder whole tokens while preserving their spacing, and the upside-down and mirror modes map each character to a look-alike before reversing the string.

  • Characters are reversed by grapheme cluster, not by UTF-16 code unit
  • Reverse word order keeps each word readable; reverse each word flips letters in place
  • Line and sentence modes reorder tokens while preserving spacing and terminators
  • Upside-down maps to 180-degree-rotated glyphs; mirror maps to horizontally flipped glyphs
  • All computation is client-side JavaScript — no server round-trip
How It Works

Upside-Down and Mirror Flip Modes

For upside-down text the tool substitutes each character with its 180-degree-rotated Unicode look-alike and then reverses the whole string, so the result reads correctly when the screen is physically turned. Mirror mode substitutes horizontally flipped look-alikes and reverses the string so it reads correctly in a reflection. Paired glyphs such as brackets and parentheses are swapped during the flip, and characters with no good inverse are left unchanged so no content is silently dropped.

  • Upside-down combines a rotated-glyph map with a full string reversal
  • Mirror uses a left-right glyph map and reversal, distinct from upside-down
  • Brackets, parentheses and angle brackets are swapped to face the right way
  • Unmapped characters are preserved as-is rather than discarded
Privacy & Security

Privacy and Offline Use

Because all reversal runs in the browser, the text never reaches a server, there is no account or tracking, and the page works offline after first load. Each mode appears as its own card with a Copy button, you can copy or download every result at once as a .txt file, and large inputs are debounced so the editor stays responsive.
