Text Reverser
Reverse text by character, by word or by line — without breaking emoji.
Runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere
What to reverse
Emoji, flags and accented letters are kept whole. Reversing a string naively splits them into their underlying pieces and produces nonsense.
Result
The result appears here as you type. Nothing is sent anywhere — the work happens in this page.
About the Text Reverser
Reversing text is mostly done for fun — puzzles, hidden messages, testing how something handles odd input — but it is also a surprisingly good way to catch a bug, because reversed text exposes assumptions a program makes about character order.
This tool offers three kinds of reversal, and they are genuinely different. Reversing characters turns hello into olleh. Reversing word order turns hello world into world hello, leaving each word readable. Reversing lines turns a list upside down without touching the lines themselves.
The character reversal is where most tools quietly fail. Splitting a string into characters and flipping it works for plain English and falls apart on anything else: emoji are stored as more than one unit and come back as broken symbols, flags disintegrate, and accented letters written with a combining mark end up with the accent attached to the wrong letter. This uses grapheme segmentation, which keeps every visible character whole, so an emoji survives a reversal intact.
Everything happens as you type, and nothing you paste leaves the page.
