How to Make Reverse Video and Audio Online
Want to create something that makes your family laugh, surprises your friends, or grabs attention in marketplace ads? A backwards video can turn an ordinary clip into a funny, surprising, or eye-catching masterpiece. Whether it’s water flowing back into a bottle, someone jumping backwards onto a chair, or a playful pet moving in reverse, this simple effect can instantly make your content stand out.
With our free online app, you can reverse video and audio without installing any software or creating an account. The video editor works directly in your browser on any device — iPhone, Mac, PC, or Android. You can upload files in any video format, and the process takes just a few clicks.
Choose your clip — it can be in any format. Simply load it into the video maker, and it will appear on the editing timeline, ready for transformation.
Enable Reverse
On the bottom panel of the video editor, click the Speed button.
Here you can adjust playback timing and direction. Turn on the Reverse (or "Backwards") option to instantly flip the video’s timeline, making all motion and sound play backwards. The result is a reversed video where everything runs in the opposite direction.
Preview and Export
Watch your backwards video in the preview. For quick access to the preview, double-click on the desired moment in the file or on the preview area on the right, then press the Play button.
If you like, you can also change the playback speed — slow it down for a dramatic effect or speed it up for extra humor. You can also check out guides on how to rotate, trim, or crop your clips to make your video even more engaging.
Once you’re happy with the result, export your clip. You now have a reversed video ready for sharing, uploading, or adding to your other projects.
Tips for Making Your Backwards Video Funny or Memorable
- Keep it simple — short clips often have the most impact.
- Use everyday actions like pouring, throwing, or jumping — they look surprisingly odd in reverse.
- Play with speed — combining reverse and fast motion can make scenes even funnier.
- Try adding background music or sound effects to enhance the reversed effect.
