Upload a short video and download it playing backwards
Playing a clip backwards is one of those effects that reads instantly: a splash that un-splashes, a jump that lands in reverse, a whiteboard that un-writes itself, a skate trick rewound for a laugh. Reversed footage is everywhere in short-form social video because the eye catches this is impossible in the first half-second and keeps watching. This tool does exactly one job — it takes the video you upload and plays every frame in the opposite order, last frame first — and hands you back a clean MP4 you can drop straight into a reel, a TikTok, a meme or an edit. No watermark, no account, no software to install.
Most video filters work as the file streams past: they look at one frame, change it, and let it go. Reversing cannot. To show the last frame first, ffmpeg's reverse filter has to read and hold the entire clip in memory before it can emit a single frame in the new order — you cannot know the last frame until every frame has been decoded. That is the concrete technical reason this tool keeps a deliberately short length limit while bigger, stream-friendly jobs (compressing, trimming, muting) allow much longer files. A one-minute 1080p clip already expands into a large pile of raw frames in RAM; a ten-minute clip would exhaust memory and fail. Keeping the cap tight is what keeps the tool fast and reliable for everyone instead of letting one huge upload stall it. The clip is re-encoded just once, to H.264/AAC in an MP4, so the result plays everywhere — phones, browsers, editors and every social platform.
By default the sound is reversed along with the picture. A reversed video with forward audio feels broken, so the soundtrack is flipped with ffmpeg's areverse filter to match. Reversed speech becomes the familiar backwards-talking gibberish and music turns into an eerie swell — sometimes that is exactly the effect you want, and sometimes it is not. If you would rather keep the visual reverse but lose the backwards sound, switch on Mute before you reverse and the output comes back as a silent video you can score with your own track afterwards. If your source had no audio to begin with, the output is simply silent and nothing else changes.
Reversing is the building block for a lot of popular effects. Pair it with a looping tool to fake a boomerang — play your clip forward, then this reversed copy, then repeat the pair so a wave or a wink runs forever. Reverse a build-up shot (stacking, pouring, assembling) for an oddly satisfying un-build. Rewind an action beat for comedy. Because the file you get back is a normal MP4, you can keep editing it in any other tool — change its speed, trim it down, or stitch it together with the forward version.
Without an account you can reverse one clip up to 100 MB and 1 minute; a free account raises that to 200 MB and 3 minutes per file. Those caps exist because of the in-memory reverse described above, not to upsell you — a longer clip simply would not finish. Your files are processed securely, are never shared, and the reversed output is automatically deleted from storage after a short time, so download your copy as soon as it is ready. No account is required to use the tool.
Upload your clip (MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV or AVI), decide whether to keep or Mute the sound, and click Reverse Video. The tool plays every frame from last to first and gives you a reversed MP4 to download — no watermark and no account needed.
Yes. By default the audio is reversed along with the picture so it stays in sync — reversed speech becomes backwards-talking and music turns into an eerie swell. If you want a silent result instead, switch on Mute (don't reverse audio) before you reverse and the output comes back with no audio track.
Reversing is memory-heavy. To play the last frame first, ffmpeg has to load the whole clip into memory before it can write anything — it can't stream the way trimming or compressing can. A long clip would exhaust memory and fail, so the duration cap is kept tight on purpose: 1 minute for free users, 3 minutes with a free account.
This tool is for video. To reverse only a song or voice recording, use our Audio Reverser, which flips an audio file and returns audio. If you upload an audio file here, the tool will point you to the audio reverser instead.
The clip is re-encoded once to H.264 at a high-quality setting (CRF 23), so any quality change is minimal and usually invisible. We re-encode rather than copy because the frame order changes; the trade-off is a universally compatible MP4 that plays on phones, browsers, editors and social platforms.
You can upload MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV and AVI files. Whatever you put in, the reversed result is always delivered as an MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio when sound is kept) for maximum compatibility.
