What Is Video Boomerang Maker?
The Video Boomerang Maker creates Instagram-style boomerang videos that play forward then backward in a continuous loop. Upload a short clip and the tool will create the forward-backward effect that makes everyday moments fun and shareable. Choose how many forward-backward cycles to include in the output. The boomerang effect works best with short clips (1-3 seconds) featuring a clear action or movement. All processing happens locally in your browser using Canvas frame extraction and reassembly — no files are uploaded to any server.

Technical Guide
The Boomerang Maker extracts frames from the source video by seeking through the video element and capturing each frame onto a Canvas. The frames are stored as image blobs for memory efficiency. The tool then creates the boomerang sequence: first playing all frames forward, then in reverse order, for each cycle. During reassembly, frames are drawn onto a recording Canvas in the boomerang sequence and captured via MediaRecorder. The audio is typically muted for boomerang effects (as reversed audio sounds unnatural), but can optionally be included for the forward segments. Frame timing is preserved from the original video for smooth playback.
Tips & Best Practices

1Use short clips (1-3 seconds) for the best boomerang effect
-
2Actions with clear movement make the most satisfying boomerangs
-
3Audio is muted by default since reversed audio sounds odd
-
4Keep source resolution reasonable for faster processing
