Frequently asked questions
Why does my browser block the camera?
Browsers ask for permission first. If you chose Block, click the camera icon in the address bar, allow access for this site and press Start camera again.
Does this record or upload my video?
No. The preview is shown directly on your screen and never leaves your device. Nothing is saved.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Webcam Test runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are never sent to a server.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. The only limit is your device's memory. Very large files work best in a desktop browser.
Is Webcam Test really free?
Yes. There's no account and no watermark. A short optional ad, or a 20-second wait, unlocks each download. That's how we keep it free.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, processing happens locally, so it keeps working even if your connection drops.
