About this tool
Reverse any text three ways: character by character (“hello” → “olleh”), word order (“quick brown fox” → “fox brown quick”), or line order (last line first). Emoji and accented characters are handled as whole symbols rather than being broken into corrupt bytes.
Character reversal is the classic palindrome check and a staple of puzzles and coding exercises; word and line reversal are genuinely useful for reordering lists and reversing chronological logs without a spreadsheet.
How to use it
- Paste your text.
- Pick reverse mode: characters, words or lines.
- Copy the reversed output.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some online reversers break emoji?
Naive reversal flips individual UTF-16 code units, splitting multi-unit symbols. This tool segments text into user-perceived characters first, so emoji survive.
What is a palindrome?
A word or phrase that reads the same forwards and backwards, like “level” or “a man, a plan, a canal: Panama” (ignoring punctuation).
Can I reverse a list so newest items come first?
Yes — use line mode to flip the order of lines without touching their contents.
