Flip text backwards, or reverse the order of lines or words. Type and it updates instantly.
Reversing text writes it end-to-first. In Backwards (characters) mode the whole string is flipped, so "textrepeat" becomes "taepertxet" — a popular effect for playful usernames, puzzles, and hiding a message in plain sight. Reverse line order flips a list top-to-bottom, and Reverse word order reverses the words in each line while keeping the letters readable.
Pick the mode that matches what you're trying to flip. Characters is the classic "backwards text" effect and works on a single word or a whole paragraph. Line order is handy when a list is pointing the wrong way — newest-first log lines you want oldest-first, or a ranking you want to invert. Word order keeps each word spelled normally but reverses their sequence, turning "the quick brown fox" into "fox brown quick the".
Reversing character by character can break emoji and accented letters, because a single visible symbol is sometimes stored as several code units. This tool reverses by grapheme — the unit you actually see — so "café 👍" flips cleanly without splitting the accent off the e or scrambling the emoji.
Common reasons people reverse text: creating a mirror-style username or display name, building word puzzles and escape-room clues, checking that an app renders reversed or right-to-left strings correctly, flipping a list that came out in the wrong order, or just having fun in chat. It's a formatting trick, not encryption — anyone can reverse it back in one click — so don't use it to hide anything sensitive.

No. The tool reverses by grapheme — the character you actually see — so emoji, skin-tone modifiers, and accented letters like é stay intact instead of being split apart.
Reversing characters flips the whole string letter by letter ("abc" becomes "cba"). Reversing word order keeps each word spelled normally but reverses their sequence. Reversing line order flips a multi-line list top-to-bottom.
Not quite. Reversed text uses your normal letters in reverse order. Mirror and upside-down effects swap letters for look-alike flipped characters — for those, try the fancy text generator, which includes an upside-down style.
Just reverse it again. Paste the reversed text back in with the same mode and you'll get the original — reversing is its own undo.
