What Is Video Flipper?

The Video Flipper is a free browser-based tool that flips videos horizontally (mirror) or vertically. Horizontal flipping creates a mirror image, useful for selfie camera corrections or creative effects. Vertical flipping turns the video upside down. The tool shows a real-time preview of the flipped result before processing. It uses Canvas scale transformations to flip each frame during recording. All processing happens locally in your browser — your files never leave your device. Perfect for correcting mirrored selfie videos, creating unique visual effects, or fixing inverted footage.

Technical Guide

The Video Flipper uses Canvas 2D scale transformations to mirror video frames. For horizontal flipping, ctx.scale(-1, 1) is applied with a translation to reposition the flipped content. For vertical flipping, ctx.scale(1, -1) is used. Both can be combined for a 180° rotation effect. The canvas dimensions remain the same as the original video since flipping doesn't change aspect ratio. Each frame is drawn with the applied transformation, and the canvas stream is captured via MediaRecorder. Audio is routed through Web Audio API and combined with the video stream. The preview uses CSS transforms for instant visual feedback without actual processing.

QIs it private?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser — no files are sent to any server.
QCan I flip and rotate at the same time?
Use this tool to flip, then use the Video Rotator to rotate. Or combine both for a 180° effect.
QDoes it preserve audio?
