Does reversing change the GIF's file size significantly?

No — the same number of frames at the same resolution are re-encoded, so the file size stays roughly the same as the original.

Can I combine this with a speed change?

Not in a single step currently — reverse the GIF here first, then run the result through the GIF Speed Changer tool if you also want to adjust playback speed.

Does the reversed GIF still loop continuously?

Yes — it's encoded with the same continuous looping behavior as the original, just playing the frame sequence in reverse order.

Is my GIF uploaded to a server?

No — reversing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Need to use Reverse GIF Maker right now?

Playing an animation in reverse is a genuinely popular effect — a boomerang-style back-and-forth loop, a comedic "undo" moment, or just an interesting visual reversal — but a GIF's frame order is fixed at creation time, so reversing it means actually re-encoding the frame sequence, not something a GIF viewer can toggle.

About Reverse GIF Maker

This tool decodes an animated GIF, reverses the order of every frame, and re-encodes it as a new animated GIF that plays the entire sequence backward, looping continuously the same way the original did.

The reversed version keeps the same frame timing and resolution as the original — only the playback order changes, so if the source GIF played smoothly, the reversed version does too. Processing runs through FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly directly in your browser.

How it works

Upload your GIF. Choose the animated GIF you want to reverse.
Reverse it. Every frame's order is flipped from last to first.
Download the reversed GIF. Get a new GIF playing the animation backward.

Examples

Simple reversal

Input

bounce.gif (ball drops and bounces)

Output

bounce-reversed.gif — the ball appears to rise and settle, playing the original sequence backward.
