How to use Flip Image
- Add one or more pictures.
- Flip horizontally is already ticked, which mirrors left and right. Tick Flip vertically to turn the picture upside down instead, or as well.
- Select Flip and download.
How it works
A horizontal flip mirrors the picture left to right, as if seen in a mirror: text reads backwards and a person looking left now looks right. A vertical flip mirrors top to bottom. Doing both is the same as rotating by 180°. Flipping is not rotating: a rotated photo could have been taken that way, a flipped one could not.
The most common reason to flip is the selfie: front cameras show a mirrored preview, and many phones save the mirrored version, so writing on a T-shirt or sign comes out backwards. A horizontal flip fixes it. Other uses: making a subject face into a page layout, preparing iron-on transfers (which must be printed mirrored), and correcting scans of slides or negatives loaded the wrong way round.
Pixels are only rearranged, not altered. PNG and WebP-lossless files stay exact; JPG files are re-saved at high quality after the flip. Everything happens on your device.
Example
A selfie in which the logo on your shirt reads backwards: one horizontal flip and the text reads correctly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I mirror a photo?
Add it and keep "Flip horizontally" ticked. That gives the mirror image.
Why is my selfie mirrored?
Front cameras show you a mirror view because that is what people expect to see, and some phones save it that way. Flipping horizontally gives the view others see.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
Rotating turns the picture around its centre. Flipping reflects it, reversing left and right (or top and bottom), which also reverses any text.
Does flipping reduce quality?
Not for PNG. JPGs are re-encoded once at high quality, with no visible change.
Can I flip several images at once?
Yes. All added pictures are flipped the same way and can be downloaded as a ZIP.
Limitations
- Text and logos in a flipped picture read backwards.
- Animated GIFs are saved as a single frame.
- Metadata is not carried over.
