Free online text reverser supporting character, word, and line modes with correct CJK and Emoji handling. All processing runs locally in your browser.
TL;DR: Free online text reverser with three modes: reverse by characters, words, or lines. Correctly handles multi-byte characters including CJK and Emoji. Real-time preview, one-click copy, all processed locally with no uploads.

Usage Guide
Reverse characters, reverse words, reverse lines — three reversal granularities for testing, puzzles and data munging. This tool handles multi-byte characters like CJK and emoji correctly instead of splitting them into garbage, all local.
1. How to use
- Paste the text you want reversed.
- Pick a mode: character reversal (Hello → olleH), word reversal (Hello World → World Hello), or line reversal (last line becomes first).
- Copy the output.
2. When each mode helps
- Character reversal suits palindrome checks, encoding experiments and reverse-lookups — but a reversed shuffle is never encryption.
- Word reversal helps reorder inverted-phrase data or generate repetitive-style copy.
- Line reversal reorders log timelines, chat history or CSV row order.
- Make sure the tool reverses by Unicode code point, not by byte — emoji will shatter into mojibake otherwise.
3. What else matters after reversing
Reversal is a pure text operation and does not change encoding — but "reverse by code point" and "reverse by perceived character" diverge on combining characters: é (e + combining accent) reversed by code point becomes a strange accent-first string. Code-point reversal is fine for most use cases; run NFC normalization first if humans will read the output. And if the reversed text feeds back into a program, verify the target system Unicode support level before shipping.
FAQ
It is completely free with no sign-up flow. Reversal happens only in your browser; your text is not collected or used for anything else.
Three: by characters (full reversal), by words (letters inside each word keep their order), and by lines (line order flipped) — switch anytime. They suit building test cases, playful copy, and line-order comparisons respectively.
The Unicode-safe algorithm will not split an Emoji's surrogate pairs. That said, multi-byte characters and composed emoji can still render differently across systems, so spot-check Chinese and Emoji after copying, and keep the original for critical data.
No. Reversing only reorders characters — it is not encryption and should not be treated as an obfuscation safeguard, since anyone can simply reverse it back.
Let the next consumer decide the order and format instead of blindly converting everything the same way. When chaining with formatters, compressors, or checksum tools, keep the original as a master copy, stored separately from exports, so you never end up with only a lossy result.
