How does GIF reversing work?

The tool parses the GIF's frame blocks and writes them back in the opposite order. Each frame keeps its own delay and the pixels are byte-identical — nothing is re-encoded.

Does reversing work on every GIF?

On standard GIF87a/GIF89a files, yes. Frame-dependent disposal tricks (frames designed to composite on previous frames) can look different when reversed — that is inherent to the format, not a bug.

Is the reversed GIF uploaded anywhere?

No. The whole operation is a local byte-level transform in your browser.
