Upside-down and mirror text
Uses Unicode look-alike letters that work in Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord, X and most apps.

What people use reversed text for

- Puzzles, riddles, escape rooms and treasure hunts.
- Checking palindromes such as racecar or level.
- Reversing a list, for example to put the newest entry first.

How upside-down and mirror text work
There is no real upside-down font. The tool replaces each letter with a Unicode character that looks like it turned over, for example ɐ for a and ʇ for t, and then reverses the order so the text reads correctly when the screen is turned around.
Because these are normal characters, you can paste them anywhere text is allowed. A few letters have no good look-alike and stay the same. Screen readers and search engines read the replacement characters, not the original words, so avoid them for important information.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write text backwards?
Paste your text in the box and keep Letters (backwards) selected. The result shows every character in reverse order, ready to copy.
What is the difference between reversing letters and reversing words?
Reversing letters turns Hello world into dlrow olleH. Reversing the word order keeps each word readable and turns it into world Hello.
Does upside-down text work on Instagram and WhatsApp?
Yes. The result is made of standard Unicode characters, so it can be pasted into Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Discord, X and most other apps. Very old devices may show a few characters as boxes.
Why are emoji not broken when I reverse text?
Many emoji and accented letters are made of several code points. This tool reverses visible characters (grapheme clusters), so a thumbs-up with a skin tone or a family emoji stays in one piece.
Can I reverse a list?
Yes. Choose Line order to put the last line first. Use Sort lines A–Z first if you want an alphabetical list in reverse.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. The text is processed in your browser and disappears when you close the page.
