How to Use Flip Video Tool - Complete Guide
Learn how to easily mirror, flip, and reverse your videos online without installing any software
Upload Your Video
Start by uploading the video you want to flip or mirror. Click on the upload area or simply drag and drop your video file into the designated box. Our free video flipper tool supports all popular video formats, including MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, WebM, and MKV files.
Drag and drop your video or click to select a file
Choose Flip Direction
After uploading your video, you'll need to select how you want to mirror your video. Our online video flipper provides two essential options:
-
Flip Horizontally (Mirror Effect)
Creates a mirror image of your video by flipping it from left to right. This is perfect for correcting selfie videos that appear reversed, creating mirror reflections, or fixing front-facing camera footage. Horizontal flipping is commonly used in TikTok and Instagram videos to create unique visual effects.
-
Flip Vertically (Upside Down)
Turns your video upside down by flipping it from top to bottom. This vertical flip is ideal for creating surreal effects, fixing videos recorded with the camera held upside down, or creating creative social media content where the perspective is reversed.
Select horizontal or vertical flip for your video
Process Your Video
Once you've selected your preferred flipping direction, click the "Process Video" button to start mirroring your video. Our browser-based video reverser will begin processing your video immediately without uploading it to any server:
Privacy Protected
Since all processing happens directly in your browser using advanced HTML5 and JavaScript technology, your video never leaves your device. This ensures complete privacy and security for your content.
Real-time Processing
Watch as your video is flipped in real-time with our progress indicator showing exactly how much of your video has been processed. The processing speed depends on your device's performance and the size of your video.
Preview and Download
After the video flipping process is complete, you'll see a preview of your newly mirrored video. Take a moment to review the result and ensure it meets your requirements. If you're satisfied with the flipped video:
- Click the "Download Video" button to save your flipped video
- The mirrored video will be downloaded in its original format and quality
- Your flipped video retains the same resolution, aspect ratio, and audio as the original
If you're not happy with the result or want to try the other flip direction, simply click the "Reset" button and start over with your uploaded video.

Frequently Asked Questions About Video Flipping
Will flipping my video reduce its quality?
No, our video reverser tool maintains the original quality of your video. The process only changes the orientation of the frames without re-encoding the entire video at a lower quality. Your flipped video will have the same resolution, bit rate, and audio quality as the original file.
Is there a limit to the size or length of videos I can flip?
While our tool can theoretically process videos of any length, we recommend keeping files under 500MB for optimal performance. Since all processing happens in your browser, larger files will take longer to process and require more system resources. For longer videos, you might experience better performance on desktop computers rather than mobile devices.
Are my videos uploaded to your servers when I use this tool?
No, your videos are never uploaded to our servers. Our video flipper works entirely client-side, meaning all processing happens directly in your web browser on your own device. This approach ensures maximum privacy and security for your content, as the video never leaves your computer or mobile device.
What video formats does the flip video tool support?
Our video mirroring tool supports all major video formats that are compatible with your browser, including MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and more. The output video will be in the same format as your input file. If you encounter any compatibility issues, we recommend converting your video to MP4 format, which has the widest browser support.
Can I flip only a portion of my video?
Currently, our tool flips the entire video. If you need to flip only a specific portion, we recommend first trimming your video using our free MP4 Cutter tool, then using this flip video tool on the trimmed segment, and finally combining the segments back together if needed.
Does the video flipper work on mobile devices?
Yes, our browser-based video flipper works on all modern mobile devices including iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets. The interface is fully responsive and adapts to your screen size. However, processing larger videos might be slower on mobile devices compared to desktop computers.
