About

Rewind

Read full description

Rewind is a free app that turns a short clip into a bouncy loop that plays forward, back, forward, back — all in just a few taps. Pick a video from your library, or share one in from Photos, Files or another app. Drag the trim handles to pick a 1 to 10 second window, and choose how many times it plays forward and back, from once to six times. Hit play to preview the bouncy loop right away, then export. Audio plays forward on the forward segments and reversed on the reverse segments. Great for: • Pet and kid moments. The perfect 2-second clip, looped forever • Reaction shots that punch harder when they play twice • Action loops like a wave breaking, a ball bouncing, or a coffee pour • Travel snippets that don't need a whole edit, just a tight loop to share • Anything you'd post as a GIF, but in real video with sound Features: • Built for speed. Pick a clip, drag two handles, then tap export • Trim window slides along the timeline. Drag either handle to resize, or drag the middle to slide the whole selection • Loop picker sets how many forward-and-back passes the video makes, from one to six • Mute toggle to strip all audio with one tap • Audio plays forward on forward segments and reversed on reverse segments • Save to Photos or share to any app that accepts video • No account, no login, and no upload. Everything happens on your device Free to download — no subscription, no account.
