How private is an online camera mirror for makeup checks?

The mirror is built to keep your camera view on your device during use. It does not upload frames, use the microphone, or run ads. When the tab is hidden, the camera stops and temporary in-memory frames are cleared.

What private use looks like in practice

If you use the mirror for eyeliner, lashes, or skin detail checks, your live camera view stays in the browser on your device during normal use. There is no frame upload tied to the mirror view, freeze action, grid, or reference pin. There is also no microphone access. That matters if you want a quick mirror on a shared office laptop or home computer without sound capture in the background.

Live preview stays local during use.
The freeze feature works without sending the image away.
There are no ads on the website.

What happens when you hide the tab or leave the page

A common privacy concern is leaving the camera active by mistake. Here, when the tab becomes hidden, the camera stops and temporary frames in memory are cleared. If you switch tabs to check a photo or open a message, the mirror session does not keep running behind the scenes in the same way. When you return, you may need to start the camera again depending on the browser.

Hidden tabs stop the camera feed.
Temporary frame data is cleared from memory.
Returning to the tab may require a fresh camera start.

What saving a PNG does and does not do

The site can export a PNG only when you trigger that action yourself. The file goes wherever your browser or operating system sends downloads or wherever the save picker lets you put it. That location is not fixed by the site. If you are using a shared device, check the default download folder after saving so you know where the image ended up.

Saving is started by you, not automatically.
The file path depends on browser and system settings.
Check shared devices for default download folders.

Permission and offline limits to know about

Camera access on the web works only in a secure context and only after you grant permission. If permission was blocked, you must change it in browser site settings. The help button points you to those controls. App-style offline files can be cached after a successful visit, but camera use without a connection depends on browser behavior, so it should not be promised as always available. A saved app icon or prior visit does not mean the camera will always start offline.

HTTPS is required for browser camera access.
Permission changes are made in browser site settings.
Offline camera use varies by browser and may not work.

Open the mirror on a secure site connection and allow camera access.
Use the live mirror, grid, and pin without entering any audio permission.
Hide the tab if you want the session to stop and clear temporary frames.
Export a PNG only if you want a local still image saved on your device.

Does the site keep my frozen image after I close or hide the tab?

Temporary frames are kept in memory during use, then cleared when the tab is hidden. A file is kept only if you choose PNG export.

Can I count on it working offline every time?

No. Cached app files may be available after one successful visit, but camera access offline depends on browser behavior.

Where will my saved mirror photo go?

That depends on your browser download setting or your operating system save dialog. The site does not set one fixed save location.
