Reverse Video Online
Make a video play backwards online. Select up to 60 seconds, choose whether to reverse the audio, and download the processed clip.
Reverse a Video Clip Online
Upload a video, select the exact section you want to reverse, and create a new clip that plays from end to beginning. No desktop software is required.
Use a quick duration preset or drag the selection on the timeline. You can reverse the picture with its audio or keep the result silent. Each processed selection can be up to 60 seconds long.
How to Reverse a Video Online
Reversing changes the order of the frames so the selected action plays backwards in the exported file. The source video remains unchanged. The player above previews the original selected range; the downloadable result plays that range in reverse after processing.
Step-by-step
- Upload or drag and drop a video file.
- Choose a quick preset or set the start and end times.
- Keep the selected range at 60 seconds or less.
- Preview the original range to confirm the correct action is selected.
- Keep Reverse audio enabled or turn it off for a silent result.
- Click Reverse video and download the processed clip.
Select the part that matters
- Use 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60-second quick presets.
- Drag either timeline handle to adjust the range.
- Move the whole selection to another moment in the video.
- Enter precise start and end timestamps manually.
- Process only the selected range instead of the entire source file.
Reverse Video with or without Audio
Leave Reverse audio enabled when you want both the image and the selected audio to run backwards. Reversed speech and music will sound unfamiliar, which can work as a deliberate creative effect but may distract from an otherwise visual clip.
Turn the option off when you need a silent reverse clip. If you want normal music, voice-over, sound effects, or volume control over the reversed footage, download the result and continue in the full editor.
Reverse both video and audio
Useful when the backwards sound is part of the effect, such as a short reveal, impact, or experimental clip.
Reverse video only
Better when the visual action matters but reversed speech or music would be distracting. Add a new soundtrack later in the editor.
When to Make a Video Play Backwards
Reverse works best when the direction of movement creates the idea: an object returns to a hand, spilled liquid appears to refill a glass, pieces reassemble, or a jump seems to rise from the ground. Short, clearly framed actions are usually easier to understand than long reversed scenes.
Common creative uses
- Create a rewind or undo effect.
- Turn a fall, splash, throw, or break into a visual reveal.
- Reverse a product assembly or transformation.
- Prepare a backwards segment for a forward-and-reverse loop.
- Add an unexpected moment to a short social video.
Reverse vs rewind
Rewind can describe moving the playback position back without changing the file. Reverse creates a new video whose selected frames actually play from end to beginning, so the backwards effect remains after download and sharing.

Supported Video Formats and Processing Limit
The uploader accepts common formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, and MKV. If a format cannot be previewed by your browser, the tool prepares a compatible preview before you select the range. A single reversed segment can be up to 60 seconds long; for a longer source, move the selection to the exact section you need.
Reversing creates a newly processed video file. Encoding may change file size or visual quality slightly, so check the downloaded result before publishing it.
Need to Edit Your Video?
Combine the reversed result with the original clip, add normal music or voice-over, insert text and subtitles, or build a complete forward-and-reverse sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about making videos play backwards.
How do I reverse a video?
Upload a video, select a range of up to 60 seconds, choose whether to reverse its audio, and click Reverse video. Download the processed result when it is ready.
Can I play a video backwards online?
Yes. The tool creates a downloadable video in which the selected frames play from end to beginning. No desktop software installation is required.
Will reversing video affect quality?
Reversing creates a newly encoded file, so file size or visual quality may change slightly. The source video itself is not modified.
What video formats are supported?
The uploader accepts common formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, and MKV. Files that a browser cannot play directly may need preparation before preview.
Can I reverse only part of a video?
Yes. Set the start and end times or drag the selection on the timeline. The selected section can be up to 60 seconds long.
Can I reverse the audio too?
Yes. Leave Reverse audio enabled to reverse the selected audio with the picture. Turn it off for a silent result, then use the full editor if you want to add normal music or voice-over.
Does the preview play backwards before processing?
No. The preview helps you verify the original selected range. The downloaded result plays backwards after you click Reverse video and processing finishes.
