Reverse or boomerang?
Reverse plays the frames in the opposite order: the dog jumps back onto the couch, the spilled coffee flies back into the mug. Boomerang plays the animation forward and then backward, skipping the doubled frames at each end, so the loop reads as one continuous motion with no jump. That's the familiar Instagram Boomerang effect.
A boomerang is about twice as long, and so is the file. If it's too big, compress or resize it.
What's kept
Each frame flips together with its own delay, so the rhythm plays backwards too. Transparency is handled, and you can make a reversed GIF from an animated WebP as well.
The GIF is processed in your browser, never uploaded, and gets no watermark.
