Reading every frame...

The amber frame is the one on screen. Clicking a frame switches to Part and marks where the rewind starts.

Presets

Last frame first. The whole GIF plays backwards, each frame with its own delay.

Great for un-breaking things, walking backwards and "rewind" memes.

How to Reverse a GIF

Add your GIF. Drop an animated GIF into the box, browse for it or paste it with Ctrl+V.

Pick reverse, boomerang or part. Reverse plays it backwards, Boomerang forward then back, Part rewinds only the frames you pick.

Preview it. Press Play to watch the result with its real timing, and switch to Original to compare.

Download. Press Reverse GIF, check the real file size and download it - or pass it straight to another GIF tool.

Starting from a video clip? Make the GIF with Video to GIF first, then rewind it here.

Reverse, Boomerang or Rewind a Part

Pick the tab that matches the effect you want.

Reverse

The whole GIF plays from the last frame to the first.

Perfect for things that un-break, un-spill or fly back into place.

Boomerang

Forward, then backward, in one smooth loop - also called a ping-pong GIF.

Short clips of 1-2 seconds bounce best.

Part

Only the frames you pick play backwards; the rest is untouched.

Show an action, then rewind just the punchline.

Why Reversed GIFs Sometimes Break

To save space, most GIFs only store what changes from one frame to the next.

Reverse those frames as they are and each one paints onto the wrong picture - you get holes, smears or ghost trails. That is why simple frame-flipping tools often fail on optimised GIFs.

This tool rebuilds every frame in full first, then plays them in the new order. Transparent GIFs stay transparent, and GIFs with 255 colours or fewer keep every pixel exactly.

Goal	Best setting	Tip
Rewind meme	Reverse	Loop once for a single dramatic rewind
Instagram-style loop	Boomerang	Try 1.5x for more bounce
Undo one moment	Part	Click the start, Shift+click the end
Slow-motion rewind	Reverse + Speed 0.5x	Works best with many frames
Smaller file	Then Compress GIF	Boomerangs double the frames

Tips and Related GIF Tools

Too long to bounce well? Keep the best 1-2 seconds with the GIF Cutter first.

Need exact timing? Set the length, fps or each frame's delay in the GIF Speed Changer.

File too big? Compress GIF shrinks it; the GIF Resizer makes it smaller on screen.

Want a caption? Add one with Add Text to GIF.

Posting to social media? Turn it into a video with GIF to MP4.

Recording something to rewind? Capture it with Screen to GIF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your GIF into the box above - the Reverse tab is already picked. Press Play to watch it backwards, then press Reverse GIF and download it.

Every frame keeps its own delay, so pauses and fast parts stay where they belong.

Reverse plays the GIF from the last frame to the first. Boomerang plays it forward and then backward, so it loops smoothly like an Instagram Boomerang.

The turning frames are not repeated, so there is no stutter at either end.

Yes. Pick Part, then click the first frame of the part in the strip and Shift+click the last one, or type the frame numbers. That part plays backwards, the rest stays as it was.

Usually not at all. When your GIF uses 255 colours or fewer - most GIFs do - every pixel stays exactly the same. GIFs with more colours get their colours re-picked per frame, which is hard to spot.

A boomerang is about twice as long, so its file is bigger too. Compress GIF can shrink it afterwards.

Most GIFs are optimised: a frame often stores only the pixels that changed since the frame before. Played in a new order, those partial frames land on the wrong background.

This tool rebuilds every frame in full before reversing, so the result always looks right.

Yes, open Speed and pick 0.25x to 4x. For finer control - an exact length, a fixed frame rate or a delay per frame - pass the result to the GIF Speed Changer.

Not normally - reversing runs in your browser. Only very large GIFs (more than your browser can hold in memory) are sent to our server, and they are deleted there within 4 hours.

Up to 60 MB in the browser. GIFs with huge frames are reversed on our server, up to 15 MB. Bigger than that? Shrink it with the GIF Resizer first.
