  4. Adjust the playback speed if desired (0.1× to 3×).
  5. Click "Reverse GIF" and download your reversed animation.

Reverse Mode Options

Reverse

Plays the entire GIF backward from the last frame to the first. The original ending becomes the beginning. Perfect for creating rewind effects.

Boomerang

Creates a seamless loop that plays forward then backward (ping-pong effect). Popular for social media and creates satisfying continuous loops.

Partial Reverse

Reverse only a specific range of frames while keeping the rest playing normally. Great for reversing just the action portion of your GIF.

Creative Uses for Reversed GIFs

Social Media

Reversed GIFs grab attention in feeds. Show objects un-breaking, people walking backward, or create surreal visual effects.

Memes & Reactions

Boomerang GIFs are perfect for reaction images, making actions loop endlessly in a satisfying way.

Use partial reverse to show a process, then immediately show it being undone, helping viewers understand both directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reverse plays your GIF backward only (Z→A), while boomerang plays forward then backward (A→Z→A), creating a seamless ping-pong loop that's double the length.

No, reversing preserves the original quality. We reorder frames without re-encoding, maintaining the same colors, resolution, and optimization level.

Partial reverse lets you specify a frame range (e.g., frames 10-30) that will play backward, while frames outside that range play normally. This is useful for reversing only the "action" part of your GIF.

Changing speed modifies frame delays, not the frames themselves, so file size stays nearly identical. Boomerang mode will roughly double the file size since it adds frames.

You can upload GIF files up to 15MB in size. For larger files, consider using our GIF compressor first to reduce the file size.

Files are temporarily stored only during processing and are automatically deleted within 1 hour. We don't keep copies or use them for any other purpose.
