A flipped video is a small but common annoyance. The selfie clip plays mirrored, so the writing on your shirt reads backwards and you reach the wrong way. Or footage came out upside down and needs turning over. Flipping fixes both by mirroring the picture in the direction you choose.
The short version: load the video, pick a horizontal or vertical flip, and download the result. The video flipper does it on your device, with no watermark and nothing uploaded.
Horizontal flip versus vertical flip
There are two ways to flip, and they do different things.
- Horizontal flip (mirror) swaps left and right. This is the one you want for a mirrored selfie, because it puts text and movement back the way they should be.
- Vertical flip swaps top and bottom, turning the picture over. It is less common, useful for footage that recorded inverted or for a deliberate effect.
If you are not sure which you need, try the horizontal mirror first. It covers the everyday selfie problem.
Flipping is not rotating
These two get confused, so it is worth a line. Rotating turns the whole frame around, which is how you fix a clip filmed sideways on a phone. Flipping mirrors the image without turning it. If your video is on its side, you want to rotate it. If it is the right way up but mirrored, you want to flip it.
How to flip a video
Step 1: Add your video
Drop in the clip you want to flip. The preview loads so you can see what needs correcting.
Step 2: Pick a direction
Choose the horizontal mirror to un-mirror a selfie, or the vertical flip to turn the picture over. The preview shows the result.
Step 3: Download the result
Apply the flip and save the corrected clip. No watermark, no sign-up, and nothing was uploaded.
The short version
When a clip plays mirrored or inverted, flip it rather than re-shooting. Use the horizontal mirror for a selfie that reads backwards, and the vertical flip to turn footage over. It runs in your browser, so the file stays on your device and comes back clean, with no watermark. If the clip is actually sideways rather than mirrored, rotate it instead.
