Reverse Text

Reverse Text by Character, Word, or Line

This reverse text tool flips a string so it reads back to front, with control over the granularity. Reverse the individual characters to turn hello into olleh, reverse the order of words while keeping each word intact, or reverse whole lines so the last row becomes the first. It is a quick utility for developers testing string handling, building palindrome checks, generating novelty text, or reordering a list without retyping it.

How it works

The reversal runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. When you paste text and pick a mode, the tool processes the characters, words, or lines locally and shows the result immediately, with nothing sent to a server. It handles multi-line input and preserves your spacing within each unit, so word and line modes stay predictable even on large blocks of text. You can switch between modes at any time and the output refreshes instantly, so there is no waiting and no need to reload the page between runs.

Practical use cases

• Check whether a phrase is a palindrome by comparing input and output
• Reverse a list of lines to flip chronological or ranked order
• Create mirrored or backwards text for puzzles and design mockups
• Test how your code handles reversed Unicode or edge-case strings

Working with lines often pairs well with other utilities: Sort Text Lines to reorder alphabetically, Remove Duplicate Lines to dedupe, or the Case Converter to change letter casing.

Everything happens in-browser, so your text is never uploaded, logged, or shared. The tool is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs in any modern browser, including on mobile, making it safe for private or throwaway text alike.
