Play a Sound Backwards.

Your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

The whole recording is turned around sample by sample: the last sound comes first. Speech becomes an eerie babble, cymbals swell instead of fading, and a piano note grows out of nothing.

Producers use reversed sounds as transitions and risers; others simply want to hear what a phrase sounds like backwards, or check a rumored hidden message.

How to use the Reverse Audio tool

  1. Add the sound file.
  2. Pick the format to save in.
  3. Press the button and download the reversed sound.
  • Reverse cymbals and risers for music production
  • Spooky voices for videos and games
  • Checking a song for backward messages

Tips for the best result

  • Reverse a reverb tail and place it before a word for the classic "sucking in" effect.
  • Reversing twice gives back the original.

Frequently asked questions

Is the quality affected?

No. The same samples are written in the opposite order.

Can I reverse only a part?

Cut the part out with the Audio Trimmer, reverse it, and join the pieces again.

Does it work on long files?

Yes, though the whole sound must fit in memory; an hour of audio is fine on a computer.

Can it reverse the sound of a video?

Yes. Add the video and you get its sound, reversed, as an audio file.
