Webcam test

See exactly what your camera sees: the live image, the resolution and frame rate it really delivers, every camera your machine has, and a snapshot you can save. The video never leaves your browser — nothing is recorded or uploaded.

What the numbers mean

Resolution is what the camera is streaming right now — this test asks for the highest mode the camera offers, so a "1080p webcam" showing 1280×720 here is genuinely delivering 720p video, whatever the box said. Frame rate is measured from the frames actually arriving, not the spec sheet: good light gives you the full 30 (or 60) FPS, while dim rooms make cameras stretch exposure and drop to 15–20 FPS, which is the usual cause of choppy-looking calls.

The mirror toggle shows the flipped self-view that call apps use (and the unflipped image everyone else receives), freeze holds a frame so you can inspect focus and framing, and save snapshot writes a PNG straight from the live stream — handy for checking what you'll look like before a meeting.

Frequently asked questions

Is my webcam video uploaded anywhere?

No. The video stream stays inside your browser tab — this page opens the camera with getUserMedia and renders it locally. Nothing is recorded or transmitted, and closing the tab releases the camera.

Why does my webcam show a lower resolution than advertised?

Many cameras advertise a photo resolution but stream video at less, and browsers may pick a lower mode to save bandwidth or when the lighting is poor. This test requests the highest mode and shows what the camera actually delivers.

Why is my webcam image mirrored?

Video-call apps mirror your self-view because a mirror image feels natural to the person in it — but they send the unmirrored image to others. Use the mirror toggle to see both.
