Reverse Audio

Audio Processing Laboratory

Play a track backwards and export the reversed result.

What is Reverse Audio?

Reverse Audio plays any clip backwards and saves the flipped version, all inside your browser. Drop in an MP3, WAV, M4A, or OGG file, click one button, and preview the reversed result before downloading. Every sample is flipped end to end with the Web Audio API on your device, so your file is never uploaded.

How to use Reverse Audio

  1. Add your audio

    Drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse. MP3, WAV, M4A, and OGG all work. The tool decodes it and shows a playable preview with its duration.

  2. Reverse it

    Click Reverse & download WAV. Every channel is flipped sample by sample so the audio plays back to front.

  3. Compare the result

    A reversed preview player appears beneath the button so you can play the flipped audio and compare it against the original above.

  4. Download

    The reversed WAV downloads automatically when you run the tool. All processing is local, so nothing is uploaded.
