Text Reverser & Flipper
Reverse text back-to-front or flip it upside down.
This tool turns text around in two different ways. Reverse Text puts the characters in the opposite order, and Flip Upside Down rotates it 180° so it reads as if the page were turned over. Both rewrite the box in place, a Clear button empties it, and a Length readout counts the characters. It runs entirely in your browser — handy for checking palindromes, making mirror-writing, or producing upside-down text to paste into a post.
Reverse versus flip
Reverse Text simply reverses the order of characters, so "Hello" becomes "olleH" — the letters themselves are unchanged, just read right to left. Flip Upside Down does two things at once: it substitutes each letter, digit and many punctuation marks for an upside-down look-alike character, then reverses the whole string, so the result genuinely reads as rotated text. It covers a–z, A–Z, 0–9 and common punctuation; any character without an upside-down match is left exactly as it was.
Both actions rewrite the box
The transformations happen in the text box itself rather than in a separate output, so you can act on the result again. That has one useful consequence and one catch. Reverse Text is its own undo — press it twice and you are back to the original. Flip Upside Down is not: the upside-down characters it produces are not themselves in the lookup table, so flipping a second time will not restore the original. If you might need the original back after flipping, copy it first.
What it is good for, and a limit
Reversing is a quick way to test whether a word or phrase is a palindrome, or to obscure a spoiler at a glance. Flipped text is made of real Unicode characters, so like other "fancy" text it pastes into bios and chats — though how cleanly it renders depends on the device's fonts. One technical limit: both actions work character by character, so text containing emoji or letters built from combining marks can split or reorder in unexpected ways. Plain letters, numbers and punctuation behave predictably.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Reverse and Flip Upside Down?
Reverse only changes the order of characters (Hello becomes olleH). Flip swaps each character for an upside-down look-alike and then reverses the order, so the whole line reads as if rotated 180°.
Does flipping use an image or a special font?
Neither. It substitutes real upside-down Unicode characters, so you can paste the result anywhere plain text is accepted. How it looks depends on the fonts on the viewer's device.
Can I get my original text back?
Pressing Reverse Text again restores it, because reversing is its own inverse. Flipping is not perfectly reversible, since the upside-down characters are not in the lookup table, so copy your text before flipping if you need it.
Does anything get uploaded?
No. Reversing, flipping and clearing all run in your browser, and the Length figure counts every character including spaces. Nothing is sent to a server.
