Free Online Reverse Text
Reverse characters, words, or lines in any block of text.
Character mode reverses every character while keeping punctuation in place when preservation is on.
About the Text Reverser
Reversing text is useful for word games, puzzles, testing input fields, creating palindromes, or simply looking at a sentence from a different angle. This tool supports three reversal modes so you can flip text at the level that suits your task: individual characters, whole words, or complete lines.
Character mode flips the entire string from end to start. With punctuation preservation enabled, letters and numbers move while spaces, commas, periods, and other symbols stay where they are, which keeps the result readable. Turn preservation off to reverse absolutely everything, including punctuation and spacing. Word mode keeps each word intact and reverses the order of the words in every line, producing “world hello” from “hello world.” With preservation off, punctuation is stripped from the words before they are reordered. Line mode reverses the order of lines without changing the content of each line, which is handy for lists and log files.
Working with Unicode
The reverser uses Unicode-aware character handling, so emoji and characters outside the basic Latin range are not split into broken pieces. Text is processed entirely in your browser, and the character, word, and line counts update as you type. You can copy the result or download it as a plain text file.
Frequently asked questions
What does “preserve punctuation” actually do?
In character mode it locks punctuation and whitespace in their original positions while reversing only letters and numbers. In word mode it keeps punctuation attached to each word. Line mode is not affected.
Can I reverse text with emoji?
Yes. Characters are read as Unicode code points, so emoji stay intact instead of being split into invalid surrogate halves.
Does reversing change my original text?
No. The source box is never modified; the reversed output appears in a separate read-only field.
