Up to 128 MiB per file; decoded audio up to 256 MiB (about 23 min mono / 11½ min stereo). Formats depend on your browser's decoder. Working audio and WAV exports use 48 kHz.

Load audio to choose a section.
Click the waveform to seek, or use the adjacent transport and exact time controls. Settings apply live. The waveform follows the chosen direction. Reverse mode uses output time: 0 is the original last sample. Original comparison restores the source timeline. No tail is appended. Review the processing notes and generate the actual WAV before downloading.

Audio Reverser settings
Uncheck to compare original decoded audio. Exports always use selected settings.
Applied after routing. Boosts or widening can clip; final integer PCM clipping is reported.
Exact fields remain usable when a quick slider cannot represent a fine value.

The original file stays unchanged.
Monitoring only; this does not affect export.
Reverse maps output frame n to source frame length−1−n, independently for each channel. Duration and channel count stay unchanged. The audition waveform and cursor follow the chosen direction; original comparison restores the source timeline. Direction changes take effect immediately and can produce a discontinuity. Hard endpoints are not automatically faded.
ACTUAL PROCESSED WAV

Create a WAV to preview the actual result.
WAV | selected channel count and sample rate. Review the output plan before exporting. Input up to 128 MiB; source/output float buffers each up to 256 MiB, subject to device memory. Final PCM clipping is counted. Tags/artwork are omitted. Settings changes clear exports; Stop terminates the local worker. No source or settings are sent to a server.
A FEW SIMPLE STEPS
How to use Audio Reverser
Choose or drop audio, or try the sample. Wait for the filename, size and ready status.
Choose a preset or adjust the visible controls. Review the effect-specific notes and output summary.
Press Play preview and adjust settings live. Seek using the waveform or adjacent transport; uncheck processing to compare original audio.
Create the processed WAV, listen to the actual output and download it. Editing settings invalidates previous exports.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Why use this tool?
Your audio is never uploaded to any server. Decoding, effect processing, playback and WAV encoding run locally with self-hosted code. Source files stay unchanged, with no account or audio history.
Tool inputs stay in your browser. Only your theme preference is saved on this device.
A few things worth knowing
How does this effect work?
Reverse maps output frame n to source frame length−1−n, independently for each channel. Duration and channel count stay unchanged. The audition waveform and cursor follow the chosen direction; original comparison restores the source timeline. Direction changes take effect immediately and can produce a discontinuity. Hard endpoints are not automatically faded.
Do changes affect playback live?
Settings are delivered to the playing local AudioWorklet without restarting the source. Continuous controls use short smoothing transitions; discrete routing or direction changes may click. Exports apply current fixed settings, not a recording of knob movements. Original comparison affects monitoring only.
Does this change duration, channels or output format?
Duration follows the original apart from output sample rounding, with at least one output frame and no appended tail. Channel and sample-rate choices are explicit in the output plan. The converter supports 16-bit PCM, 24-bit PCM and 32-bit float WAV; other tools export 48 kHz 16-bit PCM WAV. Tags/artwork are omitted. The actual encoded player and waveform must load before download enables.
What happens when I seek or resume?
The waveform and cursor follow output time in the chosen direction. Reverse output starts at the last original sample. Original comparison restores the source timeline.
What are the file and processing limits?
One mono/stereo file up to 128 MiB, decoded at 48 kHz within a 256 MiB float budget. Output has its own 256 MiB float budget; device memory may impose lower limits. Browser decoder support varies. Live AudioWorklet needs HTTPS or localhost and a supported browser. Stop/edit/clear/replacement terminates export and discards obsolete results.
