Text Reverser

Reverse a string of text so it reads backwards, character by character.

Backwards in an instant

Reversing a piece of text — turning hello into olleh — is one of those things that is oddly fiddly to do by hand and instant here. It shows up in puzzles, stylised handles, checking whether something is a palindrome, or just curiosity about what a phrase looks like flipped end to end.

Paste your text and it comes back reversed.

Character reverse, specifically

This flips the text at the character level, so the very last character becomes the first. That is different from reversing the order of words or lines, which keep each word intact and just rearrange them — useful to know so you pick the reverse you actually mean. For a straight backwards-spelling of a word or phrase, character reversal is the one you want.

Text Reverser FAQ

Does it reverse letters or words?

Letters — the whole string is flipped character by character, so the last character becomes the first.

How is that different from reversing word order?

Word-order reversal keeps each word intact and just rearranges them; this reverses the individual characters.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The reversing happens in your browser.
