Make a Boomerang or reverse a video

Turn a video or Live Photo into a forward-and-back loop, or play it in reverse. Choose a short moment and export a silent GIF or MP4 without uploading your files.

Playback

MP4 recording is unavailable in this browser. Export GIF, or try a browser with MP4 recording support.

GIF loops continuously. The cycle count applies only to MP4 downloads.

The full video is selected by default. Silent output, up to 12 fps and 480 px. At most 60 frames cover the whole selection; longer clips use a lower frame rate. Keep this tab visible during MP4 export.

Your files stay in this browser. Nothing is uploaded.

How to make a Boomerang online

  1. 1

    Choose your clip

    Open an MP4, MOV, LIVP, or original Live Photo pair. A standalone HEIC or JPEG has no video to reverse.

  2. 2

    Choose the movement

    Keep the whole video, or adjust the start and end. Choose Boomerang or Reverse and set the playback speed.

  3. 3

    Preview and download

    Generate a preview and download GIF, or MP4 when your browser supports recording it. Both exports are silent.

Reverse videos and Live Photos locally

  • Boomerang from a Live Photo

    Play a short moment forward and backward. Turnaround frames appear once so the ends do not pause twice.

  • Reverse video online

    Play the selected frames from last to first, at half, normal or double speed.

  • GIF and MP4 downloads

    Use a looping GIF for image uploads or an MP4 with one to three cycles for video sharing.

  • Local, bounded processing

    Files stay on your device. Output is resampled and re-encoded at up to 480 px; keep the original for full quality.

Boomerang maker: questions

Boomerang plays forward, then backward. Reverse plays only backward. GIF repeats continuously; MP4 contains the selected number of cycles.
