How it works
Upload a short video clip. FFmpeg applies the reverse filter to both video and audio streams, re-encodes as H.264 MP4. The entire video must fit in memory, so keep clips under 30 seconds.
Tips & Best Practices
- Keep clips under 30 seconds to avoid memory issues
- Works best with action-oriented content
- Lower resolution videos process faster and use less memory
Frequently Asked Questions
Why only short clips?
The reverse filter requires loading the entire video into memory at once. Longer videos can cause out-of-memory errors in the browser. Keep clips under 30 seconds.
Is the audio also reversed?
Yes, both video and audio are reversed. The audio plays backwards along with the video.
Privacy & Security
This tool uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (WASM). The WASM binary (~25MB) is downloaded from a CDN on first use and cached by your browser. All file processing happens locally on your device - your files are never uploaded to any server. This makes it safe for sensitive, private, or confidential media files. Large files may take longer to process depending on your device's CPU and available memory.
