How to flip a video

  1. Upload the video

    Drop the video (MP4, MOV, WebM…) into the box or pick it from your gallery.

  2. Choose the direction

    Flip horizontal (left becomes right), flip vertical (top becomes bottom), or both. The preview flips instantly.

  3. Download the video

    Click “Flip video” and download the result as MP4, MOV or MKV, with the original sound.

A video mirror in one click

Horizontal or vertical

Fix a mirrored selfie, backwards text or a camera mounted upside down; both mirrors together make a half turn.

Preview before export

The player already shows the flipped video: you check the direction before starting the processing.

Sound and quality kept

The soundtrack stays intact and the picture is re-encoded in good-quality H.264, up to Full HD.

Mirror a video online

A phone's front camera often records the picture like a mirror: the text on a T-shirt or a poster then appears backwards. Flipping horizontally puts left back on the left and right back on the right. It's also handy for a symmetry effect, for matching two shots filmed from opposite sides, or to keep a clip from being recognized as is. Upload the video, keep “Flip horizontal” checked, check the preview and download the result.

Flip vertically: turn a video right side up

A vertical flip swaps the top and bottom of the picture. It fixes a security camera or dashcam mounted upside down, or creates a reflection effect. Careful: if your video is simply upside down, what you need is a 180° rotation, which is the same as checking both mirrors at once. For a video lying on its side (filmed at 90°), use “Rotate Video” instead.

Flip, rotate, reverse: what's the difference?

Flipping (this tool) creates a mirror effect: the picture is swapped left to right or top to bottom. Rotating turns the picture a quarter or half turn, with no mirror: that's the “Rotate Video” tool. Reversing changes the playback direction: the video plays backwards, with “Reverse Video”. For a photo, “Flip Image” gives the same mirror effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I mirror a video?

Upload the video, leave “Flip horizontal” checked (or choose “Flip vertical”), check the preview, then click “Flip video”. You download an MP4 with the original sound.

How do I unmirror a selfie video?

Apply the horizontal flip: the video is mirrored a second time and the text becomes readable again. The preview shows you the result before export.

My video is lying on its side: is this the right tool?

No: a sideways video needs to be rotated a quarter turn, not flipped. Use “Rotate Video”. For an upside-down video, check both mirrors, which equals a half turn.

Can I flip a video on iPhone or Android?

Yes, from Safari or Chrome, with no app: choose the video from your gallery, then download the flipped video.

Are sound and quality kept?

The sound is kept (in AAC). The picture is re-encoded in good-quality H.264, at its original resolution up to Full HD; a 4K video is saved in 1080p to stay fast in the browser.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Flipping happens in your browser with FFmpeg; only the video engine is downloaded, once. It's free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
