Does it reverse the audio too?

Yes. Sondra reverses both the video and the audio so the whole clip plays backwards and stays in sync.

Why is there a 60 second limit?

Reversing has to hold the whole clip in memory at once. To keep it stable in your browser, the tool works on clips up to 60 seconds. Trim longer videos first.

What format is the output?

Your reversed clip is saved as an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, which plays just about everywhere.

Does it lose quality?

Reversing re-encodes the clip, so there is a small quality change like any export. For short social clips it looks great.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Your video never leaves your device.

Yes. Reversing videos on Sondra is completely free with no signup.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. It works in your mobile browser. Keep clips short since phones have less memory to work with.

Does it work offline?

Once the page has loaded, reversing runs locally, so it keeps working even with a weak connection.

What formats can I add?

You can add MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and more. The result is always an MP4.

Why reverse a video?

Reversing flips your clip so it plays from end to start. Sondra reverses both the video and the audio, so the whole thing runs backwards together and stays in sync.

It is a quick way to make rewind effects, boomerang style loops, and fun magic or undo tricks. Spilled drinks pour back into the glass, jumps land in reverse, and reactions play out the other way around.

Everything happens in your browser, so it is free and private with no upload. Because reversing keeps the whole clip in memory, this tool works on clips up to 60 seconds. Trim longer videos first.
