How to Use Rotate Text Characters

  1. Paste your text. Any characters, including emoji and accents.
  2. Set positions and direction. Choose how many positions to shift and whether to rotate left or right. Rotating wraps characters around the ends.
  3. Rotate it. Counting is by grapheme, so emoji, flags, and accents move as whole characters.
  4. Copy the result. Click Copy result. It all runs in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does rotating text do?

It shifts every character along by the number of positions you set and wraps the ones that fall off the end back around. For example, rotating “abcdef” left by two gives “cdefab”.

What is the difference between left and right?

Left moves characters toward the start, so the first characters wrap to the end. Right does the opposite, moving characters toward the end so the last ones wrap to the front.

Does it keep emoji whole?

Yes. Rotation works on graphemes, so an emoji or an accented letter is treated as a single character and never broken apart.

What if I rotate by more than the length?

The amount wraps around, so rotating by the text length returns the original, and larger numbers keep counting from there.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The rotation runs in your browser and your text never leaves the tab.
