How to Mirror a Video on iPhone (Step-by-Step Guide)

Whether you've recorded a selfie video with reversed text or want to change the perspective of a clip, mirroring a video on iOS is quick and easy. iPhone users have a few excellent options to flip videos horizontally or vertically.

In this step-by-step guide, we'll cover the two easiest ways to mirror videos on iPhone: using the native Photos app and using our free, browser-based online tool.

Method 1: Using the Built-In iOS Photos App

If you are running iOS 13 or later, Apple includes basic video editing controls directly in the Photos app. Here is how to use them to mirror your video:

1. Open the Photos app and select the video you want to mirror.
2. Tap 'Edit' in the top-right corner.
3. Tap the crop/rotate icon at the bottom of the screen (it looks like a square with rotating arrows).
4. Tap the flip icon in the top-left corner (a triangle split vertically with a double-ended arrow).
5. Tap 'Done' in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.

Method 2: Using Flip Video in Safari (No Apps Needed)

If you want to mirror videos without editing the original file in your camera roll, or if you need to process format conversions, you can use our online tool right in Safari:

1. Open Safari on your iPhone and go to flippingvideo.com.
2. Upload the video directly from your Camera Roll or Files app.
3. Tap 'Horizontal Flip' or 'Vertical Flip' depending on your needs.
4. Download the processed video straight back to your device.

Because our tool works entirely in-browser, it is extremely fast and ensures your videos are processed privately without uploading to external servers.
