Play a GIF backwards
Reverse a reaction GIF for a twist, make a loop that rewinds, or turn any animation into a boomerang that plays forwards and then backwards.
How to reverse a GIF
- Add the GIF — or an animated WebP or PNG — or paste a direct link to one.
- Choose Backwards, or Forwards, then backwards for a boomerang.
- Watch the preview, press the button and download the GIF.
Good to know
- Each frame keeps its own timing and transparency.
- A boomerang doesn’t repeat the turning frames, so the motion reverses smoothly — and the GIF is about twice as long.
- To make a boomerang from a video, use the Boomerang GIF maker; to reverse a video, Reverse Video.
Your GIF never leaves your device: it is decoded and rebuilt in your browser.
