Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the three modes?
Characters mode reverses every letter ('hello' → 'olleh'). Words mode reverses word order ('one two three' → 'three two one'). Lines mode reverses the order of lines, turning the last line into the first.
Will emoji and accented characters survive reversal?
Yes. The tool reverses user-perceived characters rather than raw bytes, so emoji and accented letters stay intact instead of turning into broken symbols.
Can I reverse a list so the newest items come first?
Yes — use Lines mode. It flips the line order without touching the content of each line.
Is reversed text a form of encryption?
No — it's trivially reversible and offers no security. It's for fun, puzzles, and formatting only.
About this tool
The text reverser flips text three ways: character by character (mirror writing), word order within the text, or the order of lines in a list. Character reversal handles composed characters and emoji correctly rather than corrupting them. It's used for puzzles and word games, for reversing lists that were sorted the wrong way, and for the occasional social post written backwards. Instant and local, like every text tool here.
Like everything on UtilityBase, the text reverser runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more text tools here.
