About the Reverse Video
This free reverse video tool plays a clip backwards from end to start — great for fun rewind effects, satisfying loops, or creative transitions. You can choose to reverse the audio too, or drop the sound for a clean, silent backwards clip.
The reversal runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly, so your video is never uploaded. The engine (about 30 MB) downloads from a CDN on first use and is cached, so the first run is slower than later ones. The output is a widely-compatible H.264 MP4.
One important note: reversing loads the whole clip into memory to flip the frame order, so it is best suited to short videos. Long clips can be slow or run out of memory — trim first if needed. Videos up to 100 MB are supported.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. All processing runs in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — only the converter engine is downloaded, once.
Why is the first run slow?
The first time you use any converter here, the browser downloads the FFmpeg core (about 30 MB) from a CDN and compiles it. It is then cached for the session, so later runs are much faster.
Why should I use short clips?
Reversing requires loading every frame into memory to flip the order. Short clips process quickly; long videos can be slow or exhaust the browser's memory, so trim them first.
Can I keep the audio?
Yes. You can reverse the audio along with the video, or turn audio off for a clean silent clip. If the video has no audio track, choose the no-audio option.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, 100 MB per file. Because everything runs in your browser's memory, very large files can be slow or run out of memory. Trim long clips first if you hit the limit.
