About this reverse video tool

The Reverse Video tool plays a clip backwards, or turns it into a boomerang that runs forwards then back — right in your browser, with no upload, no watermark, and no software to install.

Reversing is a fun, eye-catching effect: pouring un-pours, jumps un-jump, and boomerangs loop endlessly. Drop in a short clip, choose Reverse or Boomerang, and the tool reads every frame, flips the order, and re-encodes a new video locally. People use it to:

Because reversing holds every frame in memory, it works best on short clips — trim first for longer videos. The output is silent, since reversed audio rarely sounds right.

How to use
  1. Upload a video with the file picker or drag it onto the drop zone.
  2. Choose Reverse (plays fully backwards) or Boomerang (forwards then back).
  3. Pick an output format if you like.
  4. Click Reverse & export — it reads the frames, then encodes.
  5. Download your reversed or boomerang clip.
FAQ

No. The video is reversed entirely in your browser by reading its frames onto a canvas, so it never leaves your device.

Reverse plays the whole clip backwards from end to start. Boomerang plays it forwards then backwards, creating a seamless back-and-forth loop like the popular social-media effect.

No. Reversed and boomerang videos are exported without audio, because backwards audio usually sounds strange and rarely matches the picture.

Reversing works by holding every frame in memory, so very long or very high-resolution clips are capped to keep your browser responsive. Trim to a few seconds first for the smoothest result.

WebM works everywhere in modern browsers. On browsers that support MP4 recording, mainly Safari, an MP4 option appears too.
