About the Flip Image tool

This tool mirrors a picture along an axis. A horizontal flip swaps left and right, the way a mirror reflects you, while a vertical flip turns the image upside down by swapping top and bottom. It is useful for fixing a selfie that came out reversed, matching the orientation of a logo, creating a mirrored pair for a layout, or undoing a flip that a camera applied automatically.

How to use it

  • Open the image you want to mirror.
  • Click flip horizontal to mirror left-to-right, or flip vertical to mirror top-to-bottom.
  • Apply both if you want a full 180-degree mirror.
  • Download the flipped result.

Flipping only rearranges existing pixels, so there is no quality loss from the operation itself, though saving to a lossy format will still re-compress the file. Remember that flipping reverses any text in the photo, so words and numbers will read backward - that is expected for a mirror. Note that a flip is not the same as a rotation: use the rotate tool if you want to turn the image by an angle instead. All processing runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between flipping and rotating an image?

A flip mirrors the image across an axis, reversing left-and-right or top-and-bottom. A rotation turns the whole image around its center by an angle. Mirrored text reads backward, while rotated text stays readable, just tilted.

Does flipping reduce image quality?

The flip itself is lossless because it only rearranges existing pixels. The only quality change can come from re-saving to a lossy format such as JPEG, which re-compresses the file.

How do I mirror a photo both ways at once?

Apply a horizontal flip and then a vertical flip. Combining the two is equivalent to a 180-degree rotation of the image.

Is my image uploaded when I flip it?

No. The mirror is performed locally in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
