How to use the Upside Down Text Generator

The tool opens on the Flip and reverse group, so the upside down styles appear first. Type or paste your text in the box, and the list of styles updates as you type. You do not need to press a button to create the results.

Each row shows a style name, your text in that style and a Copy button. Press Copy to put the styled text on your clipboard. If the box is empty, the rows show sample text and the Copy buttons are off.

• Press All styles to see all 30 styles.
• Press any other group button to switch to its styles.

How upside down text works: flip and reverse

To make text read as if the page were turned 180 degrees, two things must happen. Each letter is replaced by a look-alike that is a turned letter, and the order of the letters is reversed, so the last letter comes first. Upside down text from this tool follows both steps.

For example, "Hello" in Upside down becomes "ollǝH". The letters are changed, and the word now starts with the last letter of the original.

The three styles of this upside down text generator

The Flip and reverse group has three styles. Each one changes the text in a different way, so pick the one that fits your goal. Upside down is also listed under the Weird and creepy group, so you can find it in either place.

• Upside down reverses the order and turns each letter. The whole line reads upside down.
• Turned letters (same order) turns each letter but keeps the order. The result reads wrongly from left to right.
• Reversed text (plain letters) only reverses the order. The letters stay normal.

Flip text generator

This page works as a flip text generator. The Upside down style flips the whole line so it reads as if the page were turned around, and the Turned letters style flips each letter and keeps the order.

Letters that look the same upside down

Some letters look the same when turned around, so the tool leaves them as typed. These are the lowercase letters l, o, s, x and z. The capitals H, I, N, O, S, X and Z also stay as typed.

This applies to the Turned letters and Upside down styles. The result still looks upside down, because these characters already look correct when turned. Only the other letters around them change.

Punctuation and digits

Digits other than 0 and 8 are swapped for turned look-alikes. The digits 0 and 8 stay as typed because they look the same turned around.

Some punctuation marks also change. A question mark becomes ¿, an exclamation mark becomes ¡, and a full stop becomes ˙. Brackets are mirrored. Other punctuation stays as you typed it.

When upside down text works and when it does not

Upside down text works well for short, playful lines, such as a nickname, a caption or a decorated word. It is a good fit for a short post where you want a turned look.

It does not work well for long passages, links or information that people must read. Characters that have no turned look-alike stay as typed, so a line may be only partly flipped. Check the result in the app where you plan to use it.

Limits: fonts, search and readability

The turned characters come from Unicode, and not every font has a picture for them. Some rare characters, such as the turned forms used for B and K, may show as an empty box. The result depends on the device and the app.

Search engines and spell checkers do not know these characters as plain letters. A search for normal words may not find text that you have turned upside down.

Upside down text and screen readers

Screen readers may read each turned character by its Unicode name, skip it or read it badly. A listener may not follow the line at all. For this reason, upside down text is hard to use for anything that people must understand.

If accessibility matters for your audience, keep upside down text for short decorative words. Give the plain version of any important message next to it.

Privacy: nothing is uploaded

The text is changed in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved. There is no account and no daily limit, and the tool is free.

You can type private text into the box and copy the result without sending the text anywhere.
