Frequently asked questions

What is Reverse text?

Reverse text by characters, words or lines.

When would I actually use this?

Cleaning up a paste before it goes anywhere: stripping duplicates from a list, normalising case, removing accents for a filename, or sorting lines.

What is the most common mistake?

Sorting text as if it were ASCII. Accented letters land after Z in a byte sort, which puts "Zurich" before "Émile" and produces a list no reader will accept.

How is Reverse text different from Reverse each word?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Reverse each word is the one to open when you need it to reverse the letters inside each word while keeping the word order. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Reverse word order is the closest one after this: Reverse the order of the words on each line (keeping the letters intact).

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Find and replace text and Fullwidth / aesthetic text — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Transformations use the browser's Unicode-aware string handling, so case changes and sorting respect the locale rather than byte order. Nothing is truncated: what comes out is the whole of what went in.
