An upside down text generator flips your writing 180° by replacing each letter with a Unicode character that looks like an upside-down version of it (a → ɐ, e → ǝ, h → ɥ). It then reverses the order of the letters, so the whole line reads correctly when the screen is turned upside down. Find more styles in our free fancy text generator.

Flip and mirror styles
| Style | Example | Copy |
|---|---|---|
| Upside down | plɹoM ollǝH | |

- Upside down: letters flipped and order reversed. Turn your phone around and it reads normally.
- Upside down, same order: letters flipped but left in their original order, for a "fallen over" look.
- Mirror text: look-alike letters that face the other way, read right to left like a reflection.
- Backwards text: normal letters in reverse order, with no flipping.
How to use the upside down text generator
- Type your message in the box at the top. It flips as you type.
- Choose "Upside down" to read it by turning your phone, or "Mirror" for a reflection.
- Copy the result and paste it into a message, bio or post.
- To read flipped text someone sent you, paste it into the box and copy the result.
How flipping text works
Unicode has no full "upside-down alphabet". Instead, generators borrow characters that happen to look like rotated letters, such as the turned letters used in phonetics (ɐ, ǝ, ɹ, ʇ) from the IPA Extensions block, letters from other alphabets (∀, Ɔ) and symbols (¡, ¿). Letters like o, s, x and z look the same when turned, so they stay as they are.
A few capital letters and numbers (for example ⅁, ꓘ and ㄣ) come from less common blocks and may look different, or show as boxes, on older devices. Lowercase upside-down text has the best support.

Frequently asked questions
How do I type upside down?
Type normally in the box above. The generator flips every letter and reverses the order. Press Copy and paste the result into your message, bio or post.
Can I flip text back to normal?
Yes. Paste upside-down text into the box and copy the "Upside down" result again. Flipping twice returns most letters to normal, although a few look-alike characters may not convert back exactly.
Is there an upside down keyboard?
Phone and computer keyboards have no upside-down mode. The easiest way is to type normally here and copy the flipped result. The flipped characters are ordinary Unicode, so they paste into almost any app.
Does upside down text work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The lowercase letters use characters that current iOS and Android fonts support. Some flipped capitals and numbers come from less common Unicode blocks and can look slightly different on older devices.
What is the difference between upside down and mirror text?
Upside down text is rotated 180°, as if the page were turned over. Mirror text is flipped left to right, as if seen in a mirror, so the letters face the other way but stay upright.
