Flip Video FAQ
Does the source format matter when flipping?
+
It does. this format is read and written by the same streaming pipeline as everything else we support. That is what decides whether the mirror can be done by rewriting the file or requires decoding it first.
Anything specific to Video to be aware of?
+
Yes — the container and codec are probed before anything runs, so mixed uploads in one batch are handled per file. Worth a moment before you flip something you cannot easily recreate.
When would I actually want to flip rather than rotate?
+
Correcting a scan or a webcam capture that came out mirrored, making a symmetrical pair from a single asset, or matching the direction a subject faces to a layout. If the content contains text, logos or numbers, check the result — those mirror too.
How does Flip Video mirror the file?
+
Concretely, the flip is applied as a video filter and the audio is stream-copied, so only the picture is re-encoded and the sound is bit-identical to the source. You choose the axis — horizontal produces a mirror image, vertical produces an upside-down reflection — and the whole file is transformed on it.
Can I run Flip Video on several videos at once?
+
Yes, and it matters here more than anywhere else — video jobs run in minutes, so queueing the batch in parallel is the difference between one wait and several.
What happens to audio, subtitle and chapter tracks?
+
They are carried across wherever the target container can hold them, including multiple audio languages, embedded subtitles and chapter markers, rather than silently keeping only the first track of each.
Is there a file size limit on Flip Video?
+
Yes: free accounts process video up to 40 MB per file whichever container you brought; ffmpeg with x264, x265 and libvpx does the encoding. It is high enough that upload speed is usually the binding constraint rather than the cap itself.
Will Flip Video lower the quality of my videos?
+
Only if the operation requires re-drawing frames. Container-level and timeline-level work is done as a stream copy, which is bit-identical to the source and finishes in seconds. Anything that must re-encode does so at a quality level you choose.
Why does a Word site host Flip Video?
+
WORD.to is built around the editable end of a document's life — the DOCX that is still being written, still being styled and still being argued over, before anyone flattens it for sending. Office files are containers full of other people's media — images, embedded audio, fonts — so the work people need on them is usually the work they would need on those contents anyway. Flip Video shares the upload, the caps and the account with the conversions for that reason.
What should I do with the result once Flip Video is finished?
+
The converter on this site takes documents out to PDF for sending, to images for embedding and to plain text for anything that has to read them programmatically, and back the other way. Doing that afterwards keeps the editable original around, which is the part you cannot get back once it has been flattened.
Is Flip Video here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same document toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a Word site adds is a view on what survives leaving the Office format and what does not, which is the question every one of these jobs actually turns on. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: the document is a zip of XML, so text edits are cheap and the weight is almost always the embedded images.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, nothing is read and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
