Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between flipping and rotating?
- Rotating turns the video 90°, 180°, or 270° like turning a photo — flipping mirrors it, like a reflection. Flip horizontal swaps left and right (useful for selfie-camera footage that reads backwards); flip vertical turns it upside down without rotating.
- Is the flip baked into the video, or just a metadata flag?
- Baked directly into the video frames, so it looks correct in every player, not just ones that respect a metadata flag.
- What video formats can I use?
- Any format your browser can decode — MP4, WebM, MOV, and MKV all work in most current browsers. Export as MP4, WebM, MOV, or MKV.
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No — the flip happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How GetByteRush compares
Most free tools for this online work the same way: you upload your file to their server, wait, then download the result — which means your file (and often your email, for a "free" account) sits on someone else's infrastructure. Here's the actual difference:
| Feature | GetByteRush | Typical online tools |
|---|---|---|
| Data ever leaves your device | No — flipped in this tab | Yes, uploaded to process |
| Flip baked into the video, works in every player | Yes | Varies — some tools only set a metadata flag |
| Account required | Never | Often, past a certain usage level |
