Six ways to turn text around
Reversing text sounds trivial until you try it with emoji. Most quick scripts flip the raw code units, so a thumbs up with a skin tone splits into a yellow thumb and a stray colour square, and a π¬π§ flag turns into π§π¬, which is Bulgaria. This tool reverses whole characters as you see them, so emoji, flags and accented letters come out the right way round.
Reverse characters writes the whole text backwards: "Hello world" becomes "dlrow olleH". Reverse word order keeps each word readable and swaps their positions, line by line. Reverse each word does the opposite, keeping word order and spelling each word backwards. Reverse line order flips a list so the last line comes first, useful for a log file or a ranking you want to count down.
Upside-down swaps letters for Unicode look-alikes that appear rotated, and reverses the order so it reads correctly when you turn the screen around. Mirror reverses each line and swaps letters for mirrored look-alikes where Unicode has them.
How to use it

Where people use it
- Puzzles, escape room clues and treasure hunt notes.
- Upside-down usernames, bios and captions on social media.
- Checking palindromes: if "racecar" reversed is still "racecar", you've got one.
- Flipping a list that's in the wrong order, like oldest-first notes you want newest-first.
- Mirror writing for craft projects, T-shirt transfers or a window sign read from outside.
Limits of upside-down and mirror text
These two modes don't rotate or flip anything. They swap each letter for a different Unicode character that happens to look rotated or mirrored, like Ι for a or Π― for R. Every English letter and digit either has a stand-in or already reads the same when rotated, like o, s and x, though a few stand-ins, like α for 2, only roughly match.
Mirrored forms are rarer. Only these letters change: a b c d e p q r s t z, the capitals B C D E F L N P R S Z, and the digit 3, along with brackets, slashes and the question mark. Other letters, like A, H, M, O and x, look the same in a mirror anyway, and some, like k or G, simply have no mirrored twin in Unicode. Those keep their shape and only move position.
Because the stand-ins come from many different alphabets, how they look depends on the reader's fonts. A few may show as empty boxes on older phones. For a true mirror image, for example to print on transfer paper, flip the picture in your printer settings instead.
Spaces and line breaks
Line breaks are respected in every mode. Reverse word order and Reverse each word work line by line and keep your spacing, including double spaces. Reverse characters and Upside-down reverse the whole text, so the last line becomes the first, as it would if you rotated a page.
Mirror is different: it keeps the lines in their order and reverses each one, like holding the page up to a mirror. Reverse line order leaves every line untouched and only changes which one comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn't every letter flip in mirror mode?
Unicode only has mirrored look-alikes for some letters, such as b, d, p, q, E, R and S. Letters like k and G have none, so they keep their normal shape. Symmetric letters like A, O and X don't need one.
Can I paste upside-down text into Instagram or WhatsApp?
Yes. It's ordinary Unicode text, not an image, so it pastes into posts, bios and messages. Whether every character displays depends on the reader's phone fonts.
Will reversing break my emoji?
No. Emoji with skin tones, flags, and family emoji are kept as single characters, so ππ½ stays ππ½ and π¬π§ doesn't turn into another country's flag.
How do I turn upside-down text back to normal?
Most of it flips back if you paste it in and run Upside-down again, since letters like Ι, q and p have their own entries. A few stand-ins only go one way, so keep a copy of the original.
What's the difference between reverse words and reverse each word?
Reverse word order gives "world Hello". Reverse each word gives "olleH dlrow": the words stay where they were, but each is spelled backwards.
Does it work with Arabic or Hebrew?
Reversing characters, words and lines works with any script. Keep in mind that those languages are already written right to left, so a reversed result may look left to right in your editor.
Is backwards text a good way to hide a message?
Not for anything private. Anyone can reverse it again in seconds, here or by reading it slowly. It's fine for a spoiler or a puzzle clue, but use real encryption for passwords and secrets.
Can I reverse a long list or a whole file?
Yes. Open a .txt file or paste it in, pick Reverse line order and download the result. Long texts take a moment to update, but nothing is uploaded, so size is only limited by your device.
