    A "reverse effect" for social media, a small trick clip (someone "spits" a drink back into the glass) or simply curiosity about how a motion looks backwards - this tool plays a video completely from end to start, frame by frame in reverse order.

    Important and honest: because reversal needs random access to every frame, the video is fully decoded and held in the browser tab's memory first - so at most about 30 seconds of source material is supported (possibly less at high resolutions). The audio track is deliberately NOT reversed: a naive backwards playback of audio chunks would just sound chopped and wrong, not a real sample-accurate reversal like the sibling "Reverse audio" tool - an honestly silent result beats a wrong soundtrack.

    Everything runs locally in the browser with mediabunny (MPL-2.0, self-hosted, no third-party CDN) on the browser's native WebCodecs API. Your video is not uploaded.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop your video file (MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM).
    2. Start the reversal.
    3. Download the reversed video.

    Limitations: Audio is not reversed along with the video (deliberately silent instead of wrong-sounding). Because fully decoding the clip needs real memory, only about 30 seconds of source material is supported - longer or very high-resolution videos are honestly truncated to the opening section, shown in the output filename. One file per run, ~600 MB limit. Needs a secure context (https) and browser WebCodecs support.

    FAQ

    Is my video uploaded?

    No. The whole reversal happens locally in your browser.

    Is the audio also played backwards?

    No, deliberately not. A real, sample-accurate audio reversal is a very different job from reversing frame order - a roughly chopped-up soundtrack would be worse than none.

    How long can my video be?

    About 30 seconds, possibly a bit less at high resolutions - the video must be fully decoded before it can be reassembled in reverse.

    What if my video is longer?

    Then only the opening section up to the limit is honestly reversed, visible in the filename suffix - no silent data loss without a hint.

    Does the resolution change?

    No, only the frame order - width and height stay unchanged.
