What Is Video Reverser?

The Video Reverser is a free browser-based tool that plays your video backwards. Create fun reverse effects, artistic backwards sequences, or satisfying reversal loops. The tool extracts all frames from the video, reverses their order, and reassembles them into a new video. You can choose to include reversed audio or mute the output. It's perfect for creating viral social media content, satisfying unmaking videos, or artistic visual effects. All processing happens locally in your browser — no files leave your device.

Technical Guide

The Video Reverser extracts frames from the video by seeking through it frame-by-frame using the video element's currentTime property. Each frame is captured onto a Canvas and stored as image data. Once all frames are collected, they're drawn in reverse order onto a recording Canvas connected to a MediaRecorder. Frame timing is maintained from the original video to preserve smooth playback. For audio reversal, the audio is extracted via Web Audio API, the AudioBuffer's sample data is reversed (each channel's float32 array is reversed in-place), and played back synchronized with the reversed video frames. Memory management is important — frames are stored efficiently as compressed image blobs rather than raw pixel data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Can I reverse audio too?
Yes, you can choose to include reversed audio or mute the output for a cleaner result.
Q Is there a length limit?
No hard limit, but shorter clips (under 30 seconds) process much faster and use less memory.
Q Does the video reverser upload my files?
No. All processing happens in your browser — no files are uploaded to any server.
Q Why does it take longer for longer videos?
The tool needs to extract every frame, store them, and reassemble in reverse. More frames means more processing.
Q Does it preserve video quality?
Quality is maintained through the process, with minor re-encoding artifacts typical of video processing.
