Unquestionably, Tiktok is revolutionising the world of video editing. Its in-built features and effects unlock many possibilities - one of them is making videos run backwards. Let us find out how.

How to reverse sound on TikTok

Currently, you can not reverse sound on TikTok (no one is perfect, right?), which means you have to resort to third-party apps.

For videos shorter than 10 seconds, you can use Snapchat:

1. Open the app
2. Click on "More Options"
3. Select "Edit video"
4. Explore the filters until you see an icon of three backward arrows (it is the reverse effect)
5. Download the video and upload it on TikTok.

For videos longer than 10 seconds, you have other options as Kapwing and Clideo.
