Reversing doesn't change the pitch or the length; it only flips the order of the sound in time. Speech turns into an unfamiliar-sounding language, which is why it's popular for reverse-speech challenges, hidden-message puzzles and creepy effects. Music producers use it differently: a reversed cymbal or reverb tail makes a smooth swelling riser that builds into the next section.
It also works as a quick editing check. Hearing a take backwards removes the meaning of the words, so clicks, edits and breaths stand out more — handy for spotting a bad splice in a voice-over.
A typical sound-design workflow: take a short sound, reverse it here, then fade it in, adjust the speed, or loop it to taste.
How it works
- Upload a file (MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A or FLAC — 15MB max, 20MB with Pro).
- Choose the output format: MP3 or WAV.
- Tap Reverse and wait a few seconds.
- Preview the result and download it. To get the original back, reverse the reversed file again.

Tips for better results
- Short clips work best for effects; a long reversed song is mostly a curiosity.
- For a smooth riser, reverse a sound with a long decay (a cymbal or a reverb tail), then trim it so it ends right on the beat.
- Reversed clips can start abruptly — add a short fade with the Fade tool.
- Reversing twice restores the original order, so you can always undo it.
Frequently asked questions

How do I reverse a voice recording?
Upload the recording (a voice memo, for example), tap Reverse and download the result.
Can I reverse only part of a clip?
