Frequently Asked Questions about Text Reverser

What is a text reverser?
A text reverser flips your input backwards. This tool can reverse every character, reverse the order of words, or reverse the order of lines. It runs in your browser with no signup.
What is the difference between reverse characters, words, and lines?
Reverse characters flips every letter (and other characters) from last to first. Reverse words keeps each word spelled normally but puts the last word first. Reverse lines keeps each line intact and puts the last line first.
Does reversing text change punctuation or spacing?
Character mode includes punctuation and spaces in the reverse, so they move with the characters. Word mode splits on whitespace and joins reversed words with a single space per line. Line mode only reorders lines; characters inside a line do not change.
Can I reverse words without reversing the letters inside them?
Yes - choose Reverse words. "hello world" becomes "world hello", not "dlrow olleh".
Does it work with emoji and non-English text?
Yes. Character reverse uses Unicode code points, so most letters, accents, and emoji stay intact. Complex emoji sequences (flags or combined emoji) may not always reverse as a single unit.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All reversing happens in your browser with JavaScript, so nothing you paste is uploaded, logged, or stored.
