Flip or Mirror a Video Online for Free

Flipping mirrors a video, so everything in it faces the other way. Upload a clip and mirror it horizontally (left to right, like looking in a mirror), vertically (top to bottom), or both at once. The usual reason is a selfie or webcam recording that came out reversed, but it is also how you make a mirrored effect on purpose. The sound is carried across untouched. No sign-up and no watermarks.

How to Make a Mirror Video

  1. Click the upload area above or drag and drop your video (up to 10 MB).
  2. Choose the flip direction — horizontal, vertical, or both.
  3. Flip and download your video.

The Three Directions

  • Horizontal – mirrors left to right, exactly like looking in a mirror. This is the one that fixes a reversed selfie or webcam recording, and it is what almost everyone wants.
  • Vertical – mirrors top to bottom. The result looks upside down, but it is a reflection rather than a turn, so it is not the same as rotating the clip.
  • Both – mirrors on both axes at once. Worth knowing that this produces exactly the same picture as a 180° rotation, so either tool gets you there.

What Mirroring Does to Text

A mirror reverses everything in the frame, writing included — and that cuts both ways.

  • If the writing currently reads correctly, it will not afterwards. Signs, logos, number plates, captions, a whiteboard, text on a screen — all of it comes out backwards. On a plain selfie that rarely matters; if there is writing in shot that needs to stay readable, flipping is not the right tool for that clip.
  • If the writing is already backwards, mirroring is what fixes it. Anything filmed through a mirror — a bathroom or gym mirror, a rear-view mirror, a reflection in a window or a screen — arrives reversed, and so does its text. Flipping horizontally turns the whole scene the right way round and makes the writing readable again. It is the only way to read text captured that way.

Either way, the preview tells you which you are looking at: whichever direction makes the writing read normally is the one you want.

When You Might Need This

  • A selfie or webcam video where you appear back to front
  • Footage where you want the subject facing the other way in an edit
  • A mirrored effect made deliberately, for a transition or a visual trick
  • Video shot through a mirror or a reflective surface, which arrives reversed
  • Reading writing that was filmed backwards — a sign, a label or a note caught in a mirror or a window reflection
  • A recording made in a bathroom, gym or rear-view mirror, where everything is the wrong way round
  • Matching the direction of movement across two clips cut together
  • An instructional clip where the viewer should copy you as if facing you
  • Footage from a rear-facing or dashboard camera that records reversed

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload the clip, choose Horizontal, and download. That mirrors it left to right, which is what people mean by a mirror video nine times out of ten. The preview shows the result before you commit, so you can check it is facing the way you expect.

It depends which effect you actually want, and the two are easy to confuse. Vertical on this page mirrors the picture top to bottom — it looks upside down, but it is a reflection, so any writing comes out backwards. If you want the clip simply turned the right way up, that is a 180° rotation instead, which keeps everything the correct way round. For a video that was filmed upside down, the rotation is the one you want.

Yes — mirroring on both axes gives an identical picture to turning the clip halfway round, so it does not matter which tool you use for that particular result. It is only the single-axis flips that have no rotation equivalent: mirroring left-to-right cannot be achieved by turning the video at all, no matter how far you spin it.

Yes — a mirror reverses everything in the frame, so signs, logos, on-screen captions and anything written on a whiteboard all come out backwards. On a plain talking-head selfie that usually does not matter. But the same effect works in your favour when the text is already reversed: footage shot through a mirror, a rear-view mirror or a reflection in a window arrives backwards, and flipping it horizontally is exactly what makes that writing readable. Check the preview — the direction that makes the text read normally is the correct one.

The picture is re-encoded, since mirroring means writing every frame again — so there is a small cost, the same as any one conversion, and it is not visible in normal viewing. The audio is copied across untouched in almost every case; the only exception is a source whose audio codec cannot sit in an MP4, which is converted to AAC instead.

Flip mirrors the image (left–right or top–bottom), while rotate turns it by 90/180/270 degrees. Use flip to fix a mirrored selfie video, and rotate to fix sideways footage.

Front cameras often mirror the preview. Flipping the video horizontally usually puts text and faces back the right way around.
