Mirror

What it does

Mirror activates your front-facing camera and turns it into a live, hands-free mirror right inside your browser — no app to install and no selfies saved. It's perfect for a quick check before a meeting, fixing your hair on the go, checking whether something is stuck in your teeth, or applying make-up when you don't have a physical mirror nearby. You can zoom in for a closer look, flip the image horizontally, or freeze the frame to study a still shot. Nothing is recorded or uploaded — the video stream stays entirely on your device and vanishes the moment you close the tool. It's free, needs no sign-up, and works fully offline as part of Carbide's privacy-first toolkit.

How to use the Mirror

1. Open Mirror in Carbide and allow camera access when prompted — this stays on your device only.
2. Look into your front camera as you would a real mirror.
3. Use the zoom slider to get closer to a detail.
4. Tap Flip to reverse the image if you prefer a non-mirrored view.
5. Tap Freeze to pause on a still frame, then tap again to resume the live feed.

Frequently asked questions

Is the camera feed saved or uploaded anywhere?

No. The video stream is processed entirely in your browser and is never saved, recorded, or sent to any server.

Can I use Mirror without an internet connection?

Yes. Once Carbide is open, Mirror works fully offline — it only needs access to your device's front camera.

Why does the image appear flipped compared to what others see of me?

By default, Mirror shows the front camera in mirrored mode, which feels natural like a real mirror. Use the Flip button to see yourself as others do.

Does Mirror work on tablets and laptops too?

Yes, as long as the device has a front-facing camera and your browser supports camera access, Mirror will work the same way.
