What is Mirror Front Camera?

Mirror Front Camera turns your device's front-facing camera into a real-time mirror. By default it shows a horizontally flipped feed, so you see yourself the way a real mirror would, which helps when you're checking your appearance, doing makeup, or adjusting glasses. Tap Flip for the true, non-reversed view that others actually see on a video call.

The video feed comes from the user-facing camera at up to 1280×720. By default it is flipped horizontally so it behaves like a real mirror; the Flip control switches to the true, non-reversed view others see on calls, and a small badge tells you which one you are looking at. Brightness, contrast, saturation, and zoom sliders fine-tune the picture, a self-timer (3, 5, or 10 seconds) fires a snapshot hands-free, and a Freeze button holds the live frame still so you can study a pose. One-tap colour filters (B&W, Sepia, Warm, Cool, Invert) let you preview different looks, and a camera picker appears when more than one camera is connected. Save snapshot writes the current frame to a PNG with every adjustment baked in. Audio is never requested, so the indicator light only signals the camera.

How to use

1. Tap 'Start Mirror' to turn on your front camera. The live feed stays on your device and is never uploaded.
2. Use the fullscreen toggle to expand the mirror view for a better look.
3. Tap 'Stop Mirror' when you're done. Your camera feed is never recorded or transmitted.

When to use

• Checking your face before a Zoom call when the laptop's webcam is the only camera nearby.
• Fixing makeup or shaving in a hotel room with bad lighting and no proper mirror.
• Tying a tie or adjusting glasses when standing at your desk and a real mirror is across the room.

Result

You're at your desk before a video call and want to check your hair. Open Mirror Front Camera, tap Start, and you see yourself right away. Fix your look, then stop the mirror. Nothing ever leaves your device.

FAQ

Why does the image look mirrored compared to a real mirror?

A physical mirror reverses left and right, which is what we expect to see. The webcam captures the scene as another person would, so by default we flip it to feel natural. Toggle the flip button to compare both views.

Is anything being recorded or sent to a server?

Not unless you tap Save snapshot. The live feed is rendered locally on a canvas; nothing is uploaded, and the stream stops the moment you press Stop or close the tab. The Save snapshot button creates a PNG file only on your device, only when you choose to.

Why won't the camera turn on at all?

The most common cause is permission denial in the address-bar prompt. Click the camera icon in your URL bar, allow access, and reload the page. The next most common issue is the camera being claimed by another app, like Zoom or Teams.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes, on any modern mobile browser. iOS Safari, Chrome on Android, and Firefox all support the camera API. On iOS you may need to add the page to your home screen before fullscreen will work properly.

Does the resolution always go to 1280x720?

The tool requests 1280×720 as an ideal target, but the browser picks the closest size the camera supports. Cheap laptop webcams might cap at 640×480; recent phones often deliver 1920×1080. The displayed feed scales to fit.
