However, up to 98% of them put a watermark on the exported videos, so you will have to pay to remove the watermark. Lucky for us, we find 2 tools helps flip videos online free with no watermark put on our video: Animaker and Kapwing
1. Ainimaker
In the early days, I used to create animated videos with Animaker, easy to use but with a decent set of video editing tools. It can flip videos both horizontally and vertically and you can download unlimited watermark-free videos with defaulted video quality 720P. The disadvantage of using this tool is, at least in my own test, my 28MB video is turned into 3.4MB, smaller size and poorer video quality.

2. Kapwing
At the beginning, I am a little confused about Kapwing’s Rotate feature, I know Flip and Rotate means 2 different things, I misunderstand that it won’t allow flipping video, until I need to give it a try because there is so few options on a watermark-free video tool. The truth turns out to be, its Rotate feature can be used to flip a video horizontally or vertically too. The disadvantage of using this tool is: slow processing speed and defaulted 720P video quality.
