Reverse Video

Reverse a video so it plays backwards, with the option to reverse the audio too. Great for rewind effects and looping clips. It runs on your device, with no upload, no watermark and no sign-up.

A video reverser plays a clip backwards, with the option to reverse the audio too. Add your video, choose whether to keep or drop the sound, and download the backwards clip, so it works to reverse a video online or set up a rewind and a boomerang-style loop. Reverse a clip here, then join it to the original with the merge tool for a forward-then-backward bounce. It runs on your device, with no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Does reversing the video reverse the sound too?
You choose. By default the audio is reversed in step with the picture, which is what you want for a true rewind. If you would rather have a clean, silent reverse, switch the audio off and only the picture plays backwards.
Why does reversing a long clip take a while?
To play in reverse, the whole clip has to be read into order and re-encoded back to front on your own device, which uses more time and memory than a forward edit. Shorter clips reverse quickly; very long ones are best reversed in pieces.
Which video formats does it accept?
It reads common formats like MP4, MOV and WebM and returns a reversed MP4. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you reverse is uploaded to a server.
