Reverse a video
Make a video play backwards, from the last frame to the first. Great for magic tricks, rewinds and satisfying loops.
Open the tool, it's freeFree · no account · no watermark · your files stay on your device
Choose a video and Clipabay rebuilds it in reverse, frame by frame, and saves it as an MP4 that plays everywhere. The sound can play backwards with it, or you can drop it and add music later.
It works on clips from your phone, camera or screen recordings, in MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV. The size and frame rate stay the same as your original.
What you get
- Plays backwards from end to start
- Reverse the sound too, or remove it
- Keeps the original size and frame rate
- Saves as MP4 (H.264) that plays everywhere
- No watermark, no length limit
How to reverse a video
- Open the reverse tool and choose your video.
- Pick what happens to the sound.
- Press Save video.
- Open it in the editor if you want to add text or music.
Tip: For a boomerang loop, open the reversed clip in the editor, add the original in front of it and export them together.
Questions
Can I reverse only part of a video?
Yes. Press Edit in the editor instead of Save, split the clip where you want, and turn on Reverse for just that piece.
Why does reversed speech sound strange?
Speech played backwards is not words any more. Most reversed videos sound best with music, so you can remove the sound and add a track.
How long does it take?
About as long as the video itself on a normal computer, a bit longer for 4K.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Clipabay runs inside your browser, so your video is read and saved on your own computer or phone. Nothing is sent to a server, which is also why there is no upload wait.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many files you do. Clipabay is kept going by people who choose to buy us a coffee.
