Is The Camera Feed Uploaded?

No. The preview and snapshot are created locally in your browser tab. BrowserTools does not transmit the feed or store the snapshot on a server.

Why Is The Resolution Lower Than The Camera's Advertised Maximum?

The active resolution can be limited by browser constraints, another app using the camera, connection bandwidth, lighting or the device's current mode.

Does Mirror Preview Change The Downloaded Snapshot?

Yes. When mirroring is enabled, the local snapshot is captured with the same mirrored orientation shown in the preview.

What Is the Webcam Test & Online Mirror?

Webcam Test & Online Mirror previews the camera you choose and reports its active resolution and frame rate. Use a mirrored full-screen monitor, switch to a true camera orientation, take a PNG snapshot and download it locally. The camera stream and snapshot never leave your browser.

How It Works

Choose a camera, start it and allow browser permission. Check framing in the monitor, open the full-screen mirror when useful, and take a snapshot for a still-image quality check. Stop the camera when finished; device names become available after permission is granted.

When to Use It

Use it as a private online mirror or before video calls, remote interviews, livestreams and recording sessions to confirm the correct camera, framing, lighting, focus and actual browser-reported capture settings.
