Text Reverse
How to Use
Enter or paste text in the input area. Select the reverse mode — characters, words, or lines — and the result updates instantly. Use the copy button to copy the result.
What is String Reversal?
String reversal is the process of rearranging the elements of a text sequence in the opposite order. It is one of the most fundamental operations in computer science and text processing. Depending on the unit of reversal — characters, words, or lines — the output has different uses. Character-level reversal flips every individual character, word-level reversal rearranges words while keeping each word intact, and line-level reversal reorders the lines of a multi-line text.
Reverse Modes
Characters mode reverses every character in the entire text. Words mode reverses the order of words on each line while preserving whitespace. Lines mode reverses the order of lines.
Common Use Cases
- Palindrome checking — reverse a word or phrase to see if it reads the same forward and backward
- Puzzles and games — create reversed text for word puzzles, riddles, or secret messages
- Programming practice — test string manipulation logic and algorithm implementations
- Data processing — reverse log entries or list items to change their sort order
- Creative writing — produce mirror text for artistic or typographic effects

FAQ
What is the difference between the characters, words, and lines modes?
Characters mode reverses every individual character across the whole text. Words mode reverses only the order of words on each line while keeping each word's contents and the whitespace intact. Lines mode reverses the order of lines in multi-line text.
Is the text I paste sent anywhere?
No. All reversing happens entirely in your browser — the text you enter is never sent to or stored on any server. You can safely use it for sensitive content.
Is there a limit on how much text I can reverse?
There is no explicit character limit; the tool processes long text up to your browser's memory capacity. The result updates in real time as you type.
Are emoji and multi-byte characters like CJK reversed correctly?
Characters mode works on visible characters rather than raw code points, so strings with emoji or combining marks usually reverse without breaking. However, some complex emoji (such as family sequences) may be split into their components.
Can I check whether a word is a palindrome?
Yes. In characters mode, if the reversed result matches the original text, the word is a palindrome. Enter a word or phrase and compare it against the reversed output.
