Flip a video left to right or top to bottom, then download the mirrored MP4 file. Local-first. No signup.

What is flip video?

Flip video means mirroring a clip left to right, top to bottom, or both, then downloading an MP4. This free local-first tool does that in the browser—no signup. A 90° turn for a sideways phone recording is a separate job on the Rotate Video page.

Tips for flipping video

Pick the mirror that matches the shot.
  • 01

    Selfie text

    A left-to-right flip reverses writing and logos in the frame.

  • 02

    Sideways clips

    A phone held upright in the wrong rotation needs Rotate Video, not a mirror.

  • 03

    Both flips

    Left-to-right plus top-to-bottom matches a 180° turn of the picture.

  • 04

    Quality slider

    Lower CRF keeps more detail. Higher CRF makes a smaller file.

Great for

When the picture should be mirrored.
  • Mirror shots

    Match a left-facing subject to a right-facing one.

  • Upside-down clips

    Turn a frame that was recorded the wrong way up.

  • Layout comps

    Preview a mirrored cut before you edit the timeline.
