About this tool
Reversing text comes up more often than it sounds: spotting palindromes, unscrambling mirror-written notes, building novelty messages, or generating a quick test case for a string algorithm. This tool covers three distinct kinds of reversal. Reverse Characters flips the whole string letter by letter, so "hello" becomes "olleh". Reverse Words keeps every word intact but flips their order, so "brown fox jumps" becomes "jumps fox brown". Reverse Lines keeps each line intact but flips the order of the lines — useful for reversing a numbered list, a changelog, or a stack trace.
Switch modes any time and the output recomputes instantly from your original input, so nothing gets mangled between switches. Everything runs locally in your browser; your text is never uploaded anywhere. Paste your text, pick a mode, and copy or download the result.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between "Reverse Words" and "Reverse Characters"?
Reverse Characters flips every single character in the string, so "brown fox" becomes "xof nworb" — words get scrambled too. Reverse Words keeps each word spelled correctly but flips their order, so "brown fox" becomes "fox brown". Use Reverse Words when you want readable text in a different order, and Reverse Characters for a true mirror-image string.
Does "Reverse Words" keep punctuation attached to the right word?
Words (and any punctuation stuck to them, like "fox," or "dog.") are split purely on whitespace and reversed as whole tokens — so punctuation travels with its word but moves to a new position in the sentence. If you need punctuation to stay at the end of the sentence regardless of word order, edit the result manually after reversing.
