How to use the Mirror Text Generator
- Type or paste your text into the input panel on the left, or click “Try sample” to load an example instantly.
- Choose your mode — Reverse simply flips each line character-by-character. Mirror Flip also swaps characters that have true Unicode mirror equivalents (like b↔d and bracket pairs), then reverses — for a more authentic mirror effect.
- Copy your mirrored text with the copy button at the top right of the output panel and paste it anywhere — Discord, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and more.
Reverse vs Mirror Flip — what's the difference?
Reverse is the simplest operation: it takes the characters in each line and outputs them in the opposite order. “Hello” becomes “olleH”. Nothing is substituted — every character comes out unchanged, just in reverse sequence. This is what most people mean when they say “mirror text”.
Mirror Flip goes a step further. Before reversing, it applies a Unicode mirror map to every character. A handful of characters have true mirror equivalents in Unicode: b and d are lateral mirrors of each other, p and q form another pair, and bracket characters like (/), [/], and {/} all swap naturally. After the substitutions, the line is reversed — giving you the most visually accurate mirror representation possible with plain Unicode text.
Most letters don't have true Unicode mirror equivalents, so they pass through unchanged in both modes. The reversal of character order is what creates the primary mirror illusion for the vast majority of text.
