Palindrome Checker: Free Online Tool for Words, Phrases, and Numbers
Check if a word, phrase, or number is a palindrome. Analyzes text forward and backward instantly.
The Ultimate Online Palindrome Checker for Symmetry
Our Palindrome Checker is a fast, free, and precise tool for verifying if any word, phrase, or number is a palindrome. Palindromes are sequences that read the same forward and backward, a fundamental concept in language, math, and computer science. This free online tool instantly strips away non-essential characters (like spaces and commas) and ignores case (if selected) to accurately analyze the text's underlying symmetry.
Use the optional settings to check if a phrase is a palindrome (like "Madam, I'm Adam") without the distraction of punctuation. The result area displays the forward-cleaned text next to the backward text for easy visual verification. For fun text effects related to symmetry, check out our Reverse Text Generator tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
A palindrome is a sequence of characters that reads the same backward as forward (e.g., 'level' or 'Madam, I'm Adam'). Our tool verifies it by creating a cleaned version of the input (removing spaces and punctuation if selected), reversing that cleaned version, and then checking for an exact character-by-character match.
This option allows you to verify classic palindromic phrases (e.g., "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"). The underlying words create the symmetry, but the punctuation and spacing would cause a false negative. By ignoring these non-essential characters, the tool accurately reveals the phrase's underlying palindromic structure.
