Mirror writing, then and now

Leonardo da Vinci filled his notebooks with right to left mirror script, and you can still see the same trick on the front of ambulances, where the word is printed backwards so drivers read it correctly in their rear view mirror. A mirror text generator gives you that reflected look in text you can paste anywhere.

Online, mirrored text is mostly for fun: secret messages, puzzle clues, and usernames nobody else has.

Reverse text generator: the five outputs

Style"Hello World" becomesWhat it does
Mirror / ReversebloɿW ollɘHFlips each letter and reverses the order. A true reflection.
Mirrored LettersHɘllo WoɿlbFlips each letter but keeps the order.
Reversed TextdlroW olleHSame letters, last to first.
Reversed Word OrderWorld HelloWords swap places, letters stay normal.
Upside DownplɹoM ollǝHRotated 180 degrees instead of reflected.

If you want text that reads correctly when someone holds their screen up to a real mirror, use the first one.

Backwards text and the letters that cheat

There's no mirrored alphabet in Unicode. The generator swaps in lookalikes from other writing systems instead. R becomes Я (a Cyrillic letter), E becomes Ǝ, lowercase e becomes ɘ and s becomes ƨ.

About a third of the alphabet needs no swap at all. A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X and Y are symmetrical, so they look the same in a mirror. Words built mostly from those letters, like "WOW" or "MOM", come out nearly identical.

A few letters such as b, d, p and q simply swap with each other. That's why "bed" in the Mirrored Letters style reads as "dɘb".

Ideas for mirrored text

For text turned top to bottom, use the upside down text generator. To make a reversed message look corrupted, run it through the glitch text generator, or shrink it with the small text generator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mirror text the same as reversed text?
Not quite. Reversed text just puts the letters in the opposite order. Mirror text also flips each letter left to right, so it looks like a real reflection.
Why does my mirrored text have Russian letters?
Unicode has no mirrored Latin alphabet, so some letters are replaced with lookalikes. Я is a Cyrillic letter that looks like a backwards R.
Can I mirror text for a tattoo or print?
You can use the output to preview the idea. For anything printed or inked, flip the design in an image editor instead, since some swapped letters are only close matches.
Does mirror text work in WhatsApp and Instagram?
Yes. All five styles are made of normal Unicode characters, so they paste into any app that accepts text.
