How to Reverse a Video Online
- Upload your video
Upload a video directly to Kapwing using our easy editing interface. You can also paste a link to a video from Youtube, TikTok, or other video source.
- Select `Reverse`
Once your upload loads, find the `Reverse` button in the right-hand sidebar and select it to turn your video into reverse. Even after your video is reversed, you can still trim it or make other adjustments to its speed, volume, and more.
- Download and share
When you're satisfied with your backwards video, just hit Export, and your final output video will be produced. Enjoy your newly reversed video and be sure to share it with your friends.
Play a Video Backwards
Reversing a video is one of the prime ways to make an eye-catching effect from your content. Viewers aren't used to seeing time move backwards so many creators opt to reverse just a small portion of their clip to create a brief rewind effect. Other creators like turning a sound bite backwards just to see what comes out of it - think of the famous Missy Elliot lyric `Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I` from the hit song "Work It".
Whatever your creative challenge, Kapwing's reverse video tool is here to help you accomplish your goal. Simply upload the content that you wish to reverse, and Kapwing will do the rest. Your video will be played backwards in the preview, but can also be exported for a final, reversed version.
While you're reversing your video, you can also combine this effect with many of Kapwing's other features, including trimming, adjusting volume, adding text, applying animations, and so much more. Our goal is to give creators fast, accessible tools that make their lives easier. Hope that it helps you reverse your videos easily online.
