Type Hello world and get plɹoʍ ollǝH: text that reads correctly when you turn your phone around. There is no rotate command in plain text, so the effect is built from other characters that happen to look like rotated letters, such as ɐ for a, ǝ for e and ʍ for w. Because the result is ordinary Unicode, you can paste it into a comment, a chat, a username or a document and it keeps its flipped look.
The converter has two modes. Upside down rotates each character by 180 degrees, and Mirror reflects letters left to right, the way writing looks in a mirror. Two switches control whether the letter order and the line order are reversed as well. The result updates as you type and nothing is sent off your device.
How flipped letters are found
Unicode contains thousands of letters from phonetic alphabets, other scripts and mathematical symbols, and some of them are near-perfect upside-down twins of Latin letters. The lowercase set is the most convincing because phonetic notation already uses turned letters on purpose: ɐ, ɔ, ǝ, ɟ, ɥ, ɯ, ɹ, ʇ, ʌ, ʍ and ʎ are all official turned forms. Other letters flip naturally into each other, so b becomes q, d becomes p, n becomes u and m becomes ɯ.
Capitals and digits are harder. Some, like ∀ for A or ⊥ for T, come from mathematical symbols, while others borrow shapes from Canadian syllabics, Cyrillic, Greek or even Korean, such as ᄅ for a turned 2. That mix of sources is why a few flipped capitals and numbers look slightly off or differently sized next to the rest. Mirror mode has a smaller pool: Unicode has convincing reversed forms for many letters, such as ɘ, ꟻ and Я, but not all, so letters without one keep their normal shape.
Fun and practical uses
Jokes and pranks in chat
An upside-down reply such as ¡ʎɐpɥʇɹᴉq ʎddɐH makes friends tilt their heads or turn their phones, which is half the fun. It works well for birthday messages, April Fools posts and anything said from down under.
Eye-catching comments and bios
A single flipped line in a bio or a comment stands out in a feed of ordinary text. Keep it short, because long flipped paragraphs are tiring to read.
Puzzles and classroom activities
Teachers and puzzle makers use flipped or mirrored text for riddles, scavenger hunt clues and reading challenges that participants solve by rotating the page or holding it up to a mirror.
Mirror-writing effects
Mirror mode imitates the backwards text painted on the front of ambulances or the mirror writing in Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, handy for posters, story graphics and themed posts.
Modes and switches
Upside down replaces every letter, digit and common punctuation mark with its rotated look-alike. To read correctly when the screen is turned around, the order must be reversed too, so Reverse letter order is on by default, and Reverse line order flips the sequence of lines in a multi-line text so the last line comes first. Together they give a true 180 degree turn. Switch Reverse letter order off to keep the letters flipped but in their original sequence, which reads like text standing on its head rather than rotated.
Mirror replaces letters with their reflected forms, again with optional reversal. Characters are handled as whole units, so emoji and accented letters are never split, although they are not flipped either. Because each flipped character maps back to its original, pasting flipped text into the box usually turns it upright again. Use the Copy or Download button above the output to take the result away.
So verwenden Sie dieses Tool
- Type or paste your text into the input box.
- Choose Upside down or Mirror under Mode.
- Turn Reverse letter order and Reverse line order on or off to change how the result reads.
- Press Copy to copy the flipped text, or Download to save it as a text file.
Limitations
- Flipped capitals and digits borrow from many Unicode blocks, so a few look uneven or may show as boxes on older devices.
- Accented letters, emoji and non-Latin scripts stay as they are in both modes.
- Mirror mode covers fewer letters than Upside down; letters without a reversed form keep their normal shape.
- Screen readers read the substitute characters, not the original words, so avoid flipped text for anything people must understand.
