Is the Palindrome Checker safe and private?
Yes. This tool runs entirely inside your browser - your text is never uploaded, stored on our servers or shared with third parties. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will keep working. That makes it safe for confidential notes, drafts, private messages and unpublished work.

- Combine with Reverse Text to see the reversed version side by side.
Frequently asked questions
Are spaces and punctuation ignored?
Yes. By default the check compares only letters and digits so phrases like ‘A man, a plan, a canal - Panama’ are correctly detected as palindromes.
Is it case-sensitive?
No - comparison is case-insensitive.
Does it work with non-English characters?
Yes. Accented and non-Latin letters are compared using Unicode.
Is my text uploaded?
No - everything runs in your browser.
