About Reverse Text
Reverse Text flips a string by character, word or line so you can create backwards text, mirror-style captions, reversed word order, or a flipped list of lines in one click. Characters mode reverses the whole string using proper Unicode grapheme handling, so emoji and surrogate-pair characters like flags and skin-tone modifiers stay intact instead of turning into broken glyphs. A dedicated toggle lets you reverse the characters within each line while keeping the line order, which is handy for per-line effects. Words mode keeps letters forward but flips the order of words on each line, and Lines mode reorders whole lines without touching their contents. It is useful for social captions, puzzles, simple obfuscation, testing string-handling code, or just having fun with backwards text. Everything runs locally on your device — no text is uploaded anywhere.

Common errors & troubleshooting
- An emoji or flag looks broken after reversing. — Reverse Text reverses by Unicode code point, not raw UTF-16 units, so most emoji stay intact. Multi-codepoint sequences (like some flags or family emoji built from several joined characters) can still visually reorder — that reflects how the underlying characters are actually stored.
- Reversing a multi-line block scrambled which text is on which line. — By default, Characters mode reverses the entire block as one string, which can move text across line breaks. Turn on 'Keep line order' to reverse each line's characters while leaving the lines themselves in their original order, or switch to Lines mode to reorder whole lines instead.
- Words mode merged multiple spaces between words into one. — Word splitting treats any run of whitespace as a single separator, so multiple spaces or tabs between words collapse to one space in the reversed output — this is expected when reversing word order.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the Reverse Text tool actually flip?
- You choose the unit: Characters mode flips the whole string letter by letter, Words mode reverses the order of words on each line, and Lines mode reverses the order of lines while leaving each line's text unchanged.
- Does Reverse Text handle emoji and accented characters correctly?
- Yes. Characters mode reverses text using Unicode-aware character splitting instead of raw UTF-16 code units, so emoji and other characters made of surrogate pairs stay intact rather than turning into corrupted symbols.
- How do I reverse each line separately without changing the line order?
- Select Characters mode and turn on the 'Keep line order' toggle. Reverse Text will flip the characters within every line but keep the lines themselves in their original sequence.
- Can Reverse Text flip the order of words in a sentence?
- Yes, switch to Words mode. It splits each line on whitespace and reverses the word order while keeping every word spelled forward, preserving line breaks between multi-line input.
- Does Reverse Text upload the text I type?
- No. Reverse Text runs entirely in your browser. The text you paste or type is processed on your device and is never sent to ArrayKit or anywhere else.
- Can I use Reverse Text to reverse a list of lines?
- Yes, choose Lines mode. It reorders the lines from last to first while leaving the text within each line exactly as you typed it.
