Flip 3GP FAQ
How does Flip 3GP mirror the file?
+
Concretely, a horizontal or vertical flip is applied as a filter, which needs a re-encode because the coded frames themselves change; the audio stream is copied through untouched. You choose the axis — horizontal produces a mirror image, vertical produces an upside-down reflection — and the whole file is transformed on it.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
+
A flip reverses the content across an axis and produces a mirror image; a rotation turns it without reversing anything. Text is the giveaway: it reads backwards after a flip and stays readable after a rotation.
Does the source format matter when flipping?
+
It does. 3GP is the cut-down MP4 profile built for early mobile networks, usually very low resolution with AMR audio. That is what decides whether the mirror can be done by rewriting the file or requires decoding it first.
Anything specific to 3GP to be aware of?
+
Yes — 3GP files are usually very low resolution with AMR speech audio, so there is little detail left to protect and a lot of size to reclaim. 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.
Can I flip several files at once?
+
Yes. The same axis is applied to every file in the batch, which is how you fix a whole folder of mirrored captures in one pass instead of one at a time.
What can I upload to Flip 3GP?
+
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, M4V, MPEG and MPG. The container and codec are probed before anything runs, so a mixed batch is handled correctly per file rather than assumed to be uniform.
Is there a file size limit on Flip 3GP?
+
Yes: free accounts process video up to 1 GiB per file, by far the most generous cap on the site; ffmpeg with x264, x265 and libvpx does the work, which is the same toolchain behind most desktop video software. Video is the one family where the cap is high enough that upload time, not the limit, is what you will actually notice.
Will Flip 3GP lower the quality of my 3GP videos?
+
It depends on whether the job needs a re-encode. Operations that only touch the container or the timeline are done as a stream copy and the picture is bit-identical to the source. Anything that has to redraw frames goes through x264/x265 at a quality level you set, where CRF 23 is visually transparent on most footage.
Can I run Flip 3GP on several 3GP videos at once?
+
Yes. Uploads queue in parallel, which matters more here than anywhere else because video jobs are minutes rather than seconds. Free accounts run one file at a time; a pass lifts that.
What happens to audio, subtitle and chapter tracks?
+
They are carried across. Multi-track audio, embedded subtitle tracks and chapter markers survive wherever the target container can represent them — that is the main thing that separates a proper job from a naive re-encode that silently keeps only track one.
Does Flip 3GP cost anything?
+
No. Flip 3GP is free without an account, and the output carries no watermark, no corner logo and no intro card. Uploaded video is deleted from the workers shortly after the job completes.
