Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between reversing characters and words? expand_more

Character reversal flips the string letter by letter ("hello" becomes "olleh"). Word reversal keeps each word intact but reverses their order ("hello world" becomes "world hello").

Does it handle Unicode and emoji correctly? expand_more

Yes. Character reversal uses grapheme-aware splitting, so multi-byte emoji and combined characters stay intact.

Can I reverse each line independently? expand_more

Choose "Lines" to flip the order of lines while keeping the text inside each line unchanged. For letter-level flips use "Characters".

Need to change text case instead? expand_more

Pair this with the [Text Case Converter](/tools/text-case-converter/) to also switch between UPPER, lower, Title, and Sentence case.

Is this tool private? expand_more

Yes. All reversal is performed client-side; your text never leaves the browser.
