Webcam Mirror

Mirrored preview for makeup, framing, or posture checks. Brightness and contrast affect display only. Video stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Webcam mirror

Tap Start mirror to allow the camera and see a live mirrored preview.

Privacy: the stream stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, recorded, or sent to a server.

Camera & image

Brightness and contrast change only how the preview looks; they do not change the camera sensor output.

How to use

  1. Select the camera input you want (integrated vs external USB).
  2. Tap Start mirror and approve the browser camera permission prompt.
  3. Toggle Mirror on/off depending on whether you want a selfie-style reversal or raw orientation.
  4. Enable Grid to align eyes or horizons with thirds lines; fullscreen the stage via the toolbar when rehearsing placements.
  5. Adjust brightness and contrast to interpret challenging lighting—they only skew the rendered preview rather than manipulating sensor exposure metadata.
  6. Snapshot captures a PNG with the same filters and mirror orientation applied offline.

FAQ

Does this upload my face?

No. Frames stay inside your tab; snapshots download through the browser locally.

Why default to mirrored video?

Most people expect mirrored feedback when aligning makeup or headsets; flipping off shows the raw handedness identical to callers on the far end.

Why can’t sliders fix exposure clipping?

They post-process `<video>` via CSS brightness/contrast—they cannot widen dynamic range your hardware clipped.

Introduction

Webcam Mirror repurposes <video autoplay muted playsInline> with a deterministic horizontal flip toggle so choreography or wardrobe checks mimic real mirrors faster than juggling vendor capture utilities. Designers layer sliders for quick shadow lift when standing beside bright windows, enable the grid for headroom before streaming, and trigger fullscreen to rehearse lower-third graphics without desktop capture software.

While Webcam Tester focuses on enumerating devices and metadata, the mirror tool keeps controls intentionally lighter and centers on human framing—think streamers setting key lights, teachers checking document cameras, or remote teams rehearsing eye-line before customer calls.
