Text Reverser
Choose a reversal mode — mirror all characters, reverse the word order, or flip lines upside down — then paste your text. This is useful for creating palindrome tests, generating backwards text for puzzles, reversing log files, or just having fun. All processing happens in your browser.

[1 suggestions]About the Text Reverser
The Text Reverser offers three distinct reversal algorithms. Character reversal splits the text into individual characters (using Array.from() to correctly handle multi-byte Unicode characters and emoji) and reverses the entire sequence, so "Hello 🌍" becomes "🌍 olleH" rather than producing garbled surrogate pairs. Word reversal splits on whitespace boundaries, reverses the array of words, and rejoins with the original separator, turning "The quick brown fox" into "fox brown quick The" while preserving spacing patterns. Line reversal splits on newline characters and reverses the line order, which is useful for flipping chronological logs (newest-first to oldest-first or vice versa), inverting numbered lists, or reversing the stacking order of data exported from spreadsheets. Each mode preserves all characters exactly — no trimming, case changes, or punctuation removal occurs. Palindrome enthusiasts use character reversal to verify whether a string reads the same forwards and backwards.
What is the difference between the three reversal modes?▾
Character reversal mirrors every character ("hello" → "olleh"). Word reversal reverses word order ("hello world" → "world hello"). Line reversal flips line order so the last line becomes the first.
Can this be used to check for palindromes?▾
Yes — if the character-reversed text matches the original input exactly, the text is a palindrome. Try it with "racecar" or "A man a plan a canal Panama" (ignoring spaces and case).
Are whitespace and line breaks preserved?▾
Yes — in word reversal mode, the original whitespace pattern between words is preserved. In line reversal mode, line breaks stay intact with only the line order changing.
