Reverse Video

Play a video backwards — audio is reversed too.

Upload a video and get a reversed version. Both video and audio tracks are reversed.

Reversing a video creates a "rewind" playback effect that's popular in creative social media content, music videos, and visual effects. Playing an action in reverse can look surreal, funny, or dramatic depending on the content.

Reversing requires loading every frame of the video into memory, processing them in reverse order, and then re-encoding the output — it's more computationally intensive than most other operations. Large files may take a bit longer than usual.

If your video has no audio track (or reversing the audio fails), the output will be a silent reversed video. Use our Mute Video tool intentionally beforehand if you want a clean, silent, reversed clip.

How to use Reverse Video

Step 1: Upload your video (MP4, WebM, MOV, or AVI).
Step 2: Click "Convert now" — both the video track and audio track are reversed.
Step 3: Download your backwards video. If audio reversal fails, the result will be video-only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does audio also reverse?

Yes. If the video has audio, it is also reversed. If reversal fails, the tool retries without audio.

Why does reversing take a moment?

Reversing requires loading the entire video into memory to process frames in order — it's more intensive than other operations.
