Upside down text generator with flip, reverse and mirror

Type once and copy any of four versions. The note under the results names the characters that could not be flipped, instead of quietly leaving them wrong.

Four versions, generated in your browser. Paste any of them back in to get the original.

These are look-alike characters borrowed from other alphabets (IPA, Cyrillic, Georgian, maths symbols), not a rotation the platform performs. A screen reader reads them as those foreign letters, search will not match them to the plain word, and a few older Android builds show boxes. Fine for a bio line or a display name; do not use it for a handle, a code, or anything someone has to retype.

Nothing is rotated

Text fields cannot rotate a character. What every tool in this category does, this one included, is swap each letter for a different character that happens to look like it upside down, then reverse the order so the line reads correctly when the phone is turned over. The ɐ is a phonetic symbol, the ∀ is the mathematical “for all”, the ᗡ is a Canadian syllabic letter, and the Ԁ is Cyrillic.

Because the look-alikes are borrowed, coverage is uneven. Some letters have a convincing rotated twin and some have none, and the tools that claim a complete alphabet fill the gaps with characters that are simply wrong. This one leaves a character alone when it has no twin, and says so under the output.

Four outputs, four different jobs

All four come from the same input. Mirror is the least complete because Unicode has very few horizontally mirrored letters.
OutputWhat changesTypical use
Upside downCharacters flipped and order reversedA bio line, a “turn your phone over” hook, a reply nobody expects
Flip onlyCharacters flipped, order keptReads left to right but every letter hangs the wrong way up
ReverseOrder reversed, characters unchangedBackwards text, palindrome checks, a puzzle in a caption
MirrorOrder reversed and letters mirrored where a mirrored form existsThe look of text seen in a mirror; expect gaps

What it costs

  • A screen reader reads these as the foreign letters they are, so an upside-down sentence is a string of phonetic and Cyrillic names to someone using one.
  • Search does not match flipped text to the plain word, including the platform's own search.
  • Never flip a handle, a code, a URL or anything a reader must retype. The characters look like your letters and are not.
  • A few of the rarer look-alikes render as boxes on older Android builds. If the line matters, check it on a second device.
