About this tool
Reverse audio locally for effects and creative editing
Reverse Audio changes the order of the waveform so the recording plays from end to beginning. The result can be used for sound design, music experiments, transitions and unusual vocal effects.
It is also useful for inspecting reversed samples or creating material for videos, games and creative projects.
The waveform is processed directly in the browser without uploading the source recording.
