Reverse audio and play a song backwards

Reverse Audio flips a recording so it plays from the end to the start. Hunt for hidden messages in songs, make a reverse cymbal or reverse vocal effect, or just hear what your voice sounds like backwards.

It runs in your browser and saves the result in any of six formats.

Reverse audio in short

Choose an audio file, then pick the format, then select Reverse and download. It's free, there's no sign-up, and it runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

Good to know

  • Reversing holds the whole file in memory, so very long files work best on a computer.
  • The first time you use an audio or video tool, your browser downloads our 31 MB processing engine. It's kept for next time, so later runs start straight away.
  • This tool runs in your browser. Very large files depend on your device's memory.

Ideas

  • Sound effects

    Reverse a cymbal, piano note or word for a swell into the next part.

  • Backmasking

    Listen for hidden messages in songs.

  • Games and challenges

    Reverse a word or phrase for a guessing game.

  • Music production

    Make reversed vocal or guitar parts.

Why use ConvertFile

  • Never uploaded

    Your audio is processed by your own browser and handed back as a download. It isn't sent to our servers, so there's nothing for anyone to see, keep or leak.

  • No watermark, no sign-up

    The file you download is yours as it is: no logo stamped on it and no account needed. It's free for files up to 500 MB.

  • Any length

    Short effects or full songs. Very long files are faster on a computer because the whole file is held in memory.

  • Works on any computer or phone

    Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone and Android, in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Nothing to install, and the tool keeps working if your connection drops once it has loaded.
