The three reverse modes explained
Each mode does something different, and it is easy to mix them up. Reverse characters flips every letter on a line, so "Hello world" becomes "dlrow olleH". This is the classic backwards-text effect people use for puzzles, mirror writing and playful social posts.
Reverse word order keeps each word spelled correctly but flips the sequence, turning"the quick brown fox" into "fox brown quick the". It is handy for testing layouts, building word games, or rearranging lists. Reverse line order leaves every line untouched but flips them top to bottom — perfect for turning an oldest-first log or list into newest-first without retyping a thing.
Both the character and word modes work line by line, so a multi-line block keeps its line breaks where you expect them. The character reverser also walks the text by Unicode code points, which means emoji and accented letters survive the flip instead of being scrambled.
Is it private?
Yes — every reversal runs in your browser with plain JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to a server, so even long or sensitive text stays entirely on your own device.
Frequently asked questions
Does reversing the characters break emoji?
No. The tool reverses by Unicode code points, so emoji and accented characters stay intact.
Can I paste many lines at once?
Yes. Paste as much text as you like — character and word modes work on each line, and line mode flips the whole list.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The whole tool runs locally in your browser, so your text is never uploaded.
