Frequently asked questions

How do I reverse an audio file?
Add the file and it is flipped back to front automatically. Preview it to hear the backwards version, then download it as MP3 or WAV. There is nothing to set up.
Does reversing reduce the quality?
No. Reversing simply plays the same samples in the opposite order, so the audio is identical in quality, just backwards. Export to WAV to keep it lossless or MP3 for a smaller file.
What can I use reversed audio for?
Reverse cymbals and swells make great build-ups before a beat drops, backwards speech is a classic effect for video and games, and reversing a clip is a quick way to check for hidden sounds.
Is it really free, and is there a watermark?
It is free and there is no watermark, no sign-up and no email wall. You get the full-quality file straight back, with nothing added and nothing held behind a paywall.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your file is read and processed on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is logged or stored.
