How to Reverse a Video in Windows 11: Maximize Your Editing Skills

In this article, we are going to discuss how to reverse a video in Windows 11. All the methods mentioned here work on all versions of Windows including Windows 10/8.1/7.

Nowadays, reversed videos are very common. Although it looks really interesting, it makes people wonder how to create one.

Reversed video is a result of post-production editing. Reversing a video without proper tools is very difficult. It’s because you have to rearrange all the frames/photos of the video backward.

Reverse videos can display eye-catching special effects that in reality can’t be true. For instance, it can show rivers flowing backward, cars racing backward, etc.

Sadly, the Photos app, the Windows inbuilt video editor, doesn’t have the capability to reverse videos. But, there are a couple of apps in the Microsoft Store that can reverse videos. We will also talk about some online video editing tools in this guide that can reverse videos.
