What Reverse Video does
Ezgif's Reverse Video tool processes uploaded video files to play them backwards frame by frame, producing a new clip that retains the original resolution and aspect ratio. Users can reverse the playback of standard video formats such as MP4, AVI, MOV, and WebM, with a maximum file size of 200 MB. The output preserves the video's technical properties while inverting the chronological order of frames, making it suitable for creating unique visual effects or exploring footage in reverse. The service is accessible directly through a web browser without requiring software installation.
