Webcam Test — Live Camera Check With Snapshot

Live preview, track details, device list and one-click snapshot — nothing is uploaded.

Quick answer: Test your webcam in the browser with a live mirrored preview, resolution and FPS readout, one-click snapshot, and plain-English help if the camera is blocked.

How to use

  1. Press Start camera and allow the permission prompt.
  2. Watch the mirrored live preview and the resolution/FPS readout below it.
  3. Press Snapshot PNG to save a test frame to your downloads.
  4. Switch cameras from the dropdown, or press Stop to release the camera entirely.

About this tool

Ever wondered whether your laptop camera actually works before a video call? This webcam test answers that in one click. Press Start and the browser asks for camera permission; grant it and you get a live, mirrored preview that feels like looking in a mirror, plus the real numbers your camera negotiated: capture resolution, frame rate and device name. Take a snapshot to check lighting and framing, or switch between cameras from the dropdown if an external webcam is plugged in. If permission is denied or no camera is detected, the page tells you plainly instead of spinning forever. Everything streams straight into the video tag in your tab — Your file never leaves this page — processing runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the data is dropped from memory when you close the tab.

FAQ

Why is my preview mirrored?
The live view is flipped like a bathroom mirror so it feels natural to position yourself; the PNG snapshot saves the unmirrored, true-orientation frame.
Is my camera feed uploaded?
No — the stream goes straight into this page's video element and stops the moment you press Stop or close the tab. Your file never leaves this page — processing runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the data is dropped from memory when you close the tab.
Why do camera names appear only after starting?
Browsers hide device labels until permission is granted — a privacy rule, not a bug. Start once and the dropdown fills in real names.
The preview is black — what now?
Another app (Zoom, Teams, OBS) may hold the camera exclusively. Close it, then press Stop and Start again to reclaim the device.
Does it work on phones?
Yes — front and rear cameras appear in the dropdown on Android and iOS; tap to switch like in any video app.
