Make a boomerang.

A short moment that plays forward, then backwards, on repeat.

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and most phone videos

Your file stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded.

Choose up to 15 seconds of any video, and get a clip that bounces forward and back as many times as you like, sped up if you want. The video never leaves your device. It is read and saved by your browser, so there is no upload, no queue and no copy on a server.

A boomerang loop always lines up, because the end of each bounce is the start of the next. It works best with a single clear movement: a jump, a clink of glasses, a hair flip.

How to make a boomerang video

  1. Drop your video on the box above.
  2. Set the start and end of the moment. One to three seconds works best.
  3. Choose how many times it bounces and how fast.
  4. Press Make boomerang and download the MP4.

Make it look right

Pick a moment with one movement and a steady camera. A speed of 1.5× to 2× gives the snappy feel people know from phone apps. The sound is off by default, because played backwards it rarely helps.
