Mirror a video left to right, or flip it upside down.

Runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.

Flip or mirror a video

Flip Video mirrors a clip left to right, or turns it upside down. Mirroring fixes selfie videos where writing reads backwards, and it's a common trick for dance and exercise tutorials so viewers can follow along like a mirror.

It runs in your browser and works on phone videos, screen recordings and camera footage alike.

Flip video in short

Choose a video, then pick Mirror (left to right) or Flip (top to bottom), then select Flip and download the MP4. It's free, there's no sign-up, and it runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

Good to know

  • Mirroring fixes selfie videos where text reads backwards.
  • The first time you use an audio or video tool, your browser downloads our 31 MB processing engine. It's kept for next time, so later runs start straight away.
  • Processing happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer. A minute of 1080p video takes roughly one to three minutes on a recent laptop; phones are slower.
  • This tool runs in your browser. Very large files depend on your device's memory.

Reasons to flip

  • Selfie clips

    Make text on a shirt or sign readable again.

  • Dance and fitness

    Mirror a routine so viewers can copy it facing the screen.

  • Upside-down cameras

    Flip footage from a camera mounted upside down.

  • Creative edits

    Mirror a shot to change the direction of movement.

Flip video: common questions

How do I mirror a video?
Choose the video, pick Mirror (left to right) and select Flip. Download the mirrored MP4.
What's the difference between flip and rotate?
Flipping makes a mirror image. Rotating turns the picture without mirroring it. To turn a video upside down without mirroring, use Rotate video at 180°.
Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark, for files up to 500 MB.
Is Flip video free?
Yes. Flip video is free, works without an account and adds no watermark, for files up to 500 MB. Pro raises that to 2 GB.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Flip video runs in your web browser, so the file is read on your own device and never sent to ConvertFile.
Does Flip video work on Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone?
Yes. It runs in any modern web browser, with nothing to install. Very large files work best on a desktop or laptop, because in-browser tools use your device's memory.
