# Reverse Video

Reverse any video online so it plays backwards. Reverses the audio too. No upload, no watermark, processed entirely in your browser.

**Use this tool:** [Reverse Video](https://findutils.com/media/video-reverser/)

## Programmatic access

- Browser-only: this tool works on a file, the DOM, or a browser API and has no REST or MCP id.

## Why use our Video Reverser?

Our video reverser plays a clip backwards, frame by frame, and reverses the audio to match. It is the easiest way to create the popular rewind effect. It works with MP4, WebM, MKV, and MOV clips up to 60 seconds long and runs entirely in your browser on WebCodecs, driven by the Mediabunny library. Nothing is uploaded, so private footage stays on your device. The output carries no watermark, unlike most online video editors, and there are no usage limits.

## Tips for Best Results

- Keep clips short. Reverse playback loads the whole video, so the tool caps input at 60 seconds.
- Trim a longer video down first with the Video Trimmer, then reverse the part you need.
- Both the picture and the audio are reversed, which creates the distinctive backwards-speech sound.
- For a boomerang, reverse a clip and join it after the original with a video merger.
- Higher frame-rate sources produce smoother reversed motion.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I reverse a video online?

Upload your video, then click Reverse Video. The tool flips the frame order and reverses the audio, and the backwards clip downloads with no watermark and no signup.

### Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The clip is decoded and rebuilt in your browser and the video file never leaves your device. The page loads ad and analytics scripts as most sites do, and they never see your file.

### Does the reverser also reverse the audio?

Yes. The audio track is reversed sample by sample along with the video, which creates the characteristic backwards-speech sound.

### Why is there a 60-second limit?

Reverse playback cannot be streamed, so the tool must load the whole clip into memory. The 60-second cap keeps memory use safe across devices. Trim longer videos first.

### Why does reversing take a while?

Every frame has to be decoded and re-rendered in reverse order, which is more work than a normal copy. A progress bar shows how far along the reversal is.

### Is there a watermark on the reversed video?

No. The output has no watermark and no branding. It is ready to upload or share immediately.

### How do I make a boomerang video?

Reverse your clip with this tool, then join the reversed copy after the original using a video merger. The result loops forward and back seamlessly.

### What format is the reversed video?

The output keeps the input container family: MP4 and MOV inputs are saved as MP4, while WebM and MKV inputs are saved as WebM.
