This flip image tool mirrors your picture horizontally or vertically and hands you the flipped copy — the fix for mirrored selfies, backwards scans and layouts that need a left-facing subject on the right.

How to Flip an Image — 3 Steps
- Drop your image into the box above, or tap the box to pick it from your device.
- Choose the flip — horizontal (left-right mirror) or vertical (upside down).
- Press the blue Flip Image button and download the result.
Mirroring, and When a Flip Is the Wrong Fix
Flipping is a geometry change, not a quality change: every pixel is repositioned and nothing is recompressed beyond the normal file save. Horizontal mirroring swaps left and right — the classic use is a selfie taken with a front camera, which many phones store mirrored, so text on clothing or signage reads backwards and parting lines sit on the wrong side. Vertical flipping swaps top and bottom — less common, but the standard fix for upside-down scans and mirrored reflections.
The most common trap is text. A mirrored image with any writing in it — a sign, a t-shirt logo, a document — shows that text reversed, and no flip setting fixes that because the text itself must be un-mirrored, which is physically impossible in a photo. If the writing matters, reshoot or rescan instead. Logos and asymmetric compositions follow the same rule: flip only when the mirror version is genuinely what you want, or when nothing readable is affected.
People also reach for a flip when they actually need a rotation — sideways scans need the Rotate Image tool, not a mirror. And if the goal is a mirrored pair for a design (two people facing each other), the flow is: flip here, then use Combine Images to place the original and the mirror side by side.
Output keeps your input's format: JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG with its transparency intact. The work happens locally — the browser draws the image flipped to a canvas and saves it, no server involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Horizontal mirrors left-to-right (like looking in a mirror). Vertical flips top-to-bottom (upside down). Most selfie and signage fixes need horizontal.
No — pixels are repositioned, not recompressed. The saved file is the same quality as the input.
That is what a mirror does — a flip cannot un-reverse text that was photographed mirrored. If readable text matters, retake the photo instead.
Yes — the alpha channel flips along with the image, so cut-outs and logos keep their transparent areas.
Flip here, download, then join the two with the Combine Images tool side by side.
No — the flip runs in your browser and the download comes from your device.
