Reverse Lines
Reverse the order of lines in any text so the last line becomes first. Flip a list or block of text top to bottom, with options to trim lines, drop blanks, and remove duplicates.
ToolsSoup's Reverse Lines tool is a free online utility that flips the order of every line in your text so the last line becomes the first and the first becomes the last. Paste a list, log, or any block of text and reverse it top to bottom in one click. You can also trim each line, drop blank lines, and remove duplicates as you flip the order. Everything runs in your browser — no uploads, no sign-up, and your text never leaves your device.
What does reversing lines mean?
Reversing lines means flipping the order of the rows in a text from bottom to top: the line that was last becomes the first, the second-to-last becomes the second, and so on, while the characters inside each line stay exactly as they were. This is different from reversing the text itself, which would spell each line backward. Reversing line order is handy for putting newest-first logs back into chronological order, undoing a sorted list, flipping a ranking, or simply seeing your data from the other end. Because each line stays intact, the result is a clean mirror of your original list.
How to reverse lines online
Flipping your lines with ToolsSoup takes just a few seconds:
- Type directly into the text box or paste the list you want to flip.
- Turn on any options you need — trim each line, remove blank lines, or remove duplicates.
- Click Reverse lines to flip the order from bottom to top.
- Click Copy result to grab the reversed list.
Reverse lines vs. reverse text vs. sort lines
These three jobs are easy to mix up. Reversing lines flips the order of whole lines while keeping each line readable, so a list runs from bottom to top. Reversing text flips the characters within the text, spelling words backward. Sorting lines puts them into a chosen order such as alphabetical, rather than simply flipping the order you already have. Use this Reverse Lines tool when you want the exact same lines in the opposite order — for example, to turn a newest-first list back into oldest-first.
Cleaning up while you flip
Reversing is often part of tidying a messy list, so this tool can clean as it flips. Turn on Trim each line to strip leading and trailing spaces, Remove blank lines to drop empty rows so they do not clutter the result, and Remove duplicates to keep just one copy of each line in the reversed order. The input and output counters show how many lines you started with and how many remain, so you can see at a glance what was removed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I reverse the order of lines?
Paste your text into the box and click Reverse lines. The tool flips the order so the last line appears first and the first line appears last, then puts the result in the output box ready to copy.
Does reversing lines change the text inside each line?
No. Reversing lines only changes the order of the lines. The words and characters inside each line stay exactly as you typed them. If you want to spell text backward, use a reverse text tool instead.
What is the difference between reverse lines and sort lines?
Reversing lines flips the order you already have, top to bottom. Sorting lines rearranges them into a new order such as alphabetical or numeric. Use reverse when you simply want the same lines in the opposite order.
Can I remove blank lines or duplicates while reversing?
Yes. Turn on Remove blank lines to drop empty rows and Remove duplicates to keep a single copy of each line. Both options are applied as the tool reverses your list.
Is there a limit on how many lines I can reverse?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens in your browser, you can reverse very long lists quickly, limited only by your device's memory.
Is my text private?
Absolutely. All reversing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, so the text you enter is never sent to or stored on any server.
