Why flip videos?
Flipping fixes reversed or upside-down footage, creates mirror effects, and prepares video content for different platform layouts.
Benefits of flipping
- Webcam correction: Fix mirror-reversed webcam or selfie footage.
- Creative effects: Create mirror or inverted visuals for social or art.
- Same dimensions: Flip keeps width and height the same.
- Format choice: Export MP4, WebM, or MOV while preserving quality.
- Privacy: Processing stays in your browser; files never leave your device.
Flip options
Choose a flip mode that matches your goal. Dimensions stay the same for all options.
Available flips
- Horizontal flip (mirror): Mirror left–right like a reflection.
- Vertical flip: Flip the video upside down.
- Both: Apply horizontal + vertical flips for a 180°-like result.
How video flipping works
Flipping reverses pixels along one or both axes, then re-encodes the video in your chosen format.
Processing steps
- Upload & decode: your browser loads and decodes supported video files.
- Frame flip: each frame is mirrored horizontally and/or vertically.
- Re-encode & output: the result is encoded to MP4/WebM/MOV.
- Client-side processing: your videos never leave your device.
Best practices
Preview the result before downloading and choose the format that best fits your platform.
Quality considerations
- Flipping keeps dimensions the same as the original.
- Preview first to confirm orientation is correct.
- Use preset output formats that match your playback needs.
- For consistent results, process only once per file when possible.
- Keep original files for safety during batch work.
Common use cases
- Mobile/selfie corrections: Fix accidental mirror orientation.
- Vertical-to-horizontal: Prepare content for horizontal layouts.
- Social publishing: Flip creatively for feeds and posts.
- Learning/demo content: Normalize orientation for teaching videos.
- Creative edits: Use flip for artistic effects.
How it works (technical overview)
Browser pipelines decode frames, apply pixel transforms for horizontal/vertical flips, and re-encode output with audio preserved.
Steps
- Decode: Read the video stream and prepare frames.
- Flip: Mirror frames across the selected axis.
- Re-encode: Encode flipped frames into the selected container/codec.
- Download: Save the flipped video locally.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between flip and rotate?
Flipping creates mirror/upside-down output without changing dimensions. Rotating turns the video by angles (e.g. 90°, 180°) and can change width/height.
Will flipping affect video quality?
Flipping re-encodes video with the applied flip. Quality is preserved as much as possible with efficient encoding and bitrate handling. Audio is re-encoded to match the output format.
Is my video data secure?
Yes. All processing happens in your browser and your files never leave your device.
What formats can I output?
You can export as MP4 (H.264), WebM (VP9), or MOV (H.264). Input format is used by default when supported.
When should I use horizontal vs vertical flip?
Use horizontal flip to mirror left–right. Use vertical flip to flip upside down. Use both for a 180°-like effect while keeping the same dimensions.
