Flip image
Mirror an image — horizontally or vertically — right in your browser. Useful when text or a face came out reversed, as selfies often do. The flip happens on your device: the file is never sent to a server.

How to flip an image in 3 steps
Add the image
Drag the image (PNG, JPG or WEBP) onto the upload area or click to pick it. The file is read only in your device's memory.
Choose the axis
Select flip horizontal (left↔right) or vertical (top↔bottom) and click process.
Download the PNG
Download the flipped image. No copy is kept anywhere.
Rotate vs. flip: what's the difference?
Rotating changes the orientation (90°, 180°, 270°) — useful for a sideways photo. Flipping mirrors the image without changing orientation — useful when the content came out reversed compared to the original.
Horizontal flip swaps left and right; vertical flip swaps top and bottom.
When to flip
Selfies are often saved mirrored, leaving text and logos backwards. A horizontal flip fixes that. A vertical flip is useful for reflection effects or to adjust upside-down captures.
Since the operation only rearranges pixels, there's no quality loss: the output is lossless PNG, and transparency is preserved.
Nothing leaves the browser
Flipping happens on your device, with no upload.
Horizontal or vertical: what each does
Horizontal flipping swaps left and right — it is what fixes the selfie where text on a shirt or a sign appears reversed, because the front camera records like a mirror.
Vertical flipping swaps top and bottom, producing a water-reflection effect. Far less common day to day, but useful for compositions and for correcting scans made with the original upside down.
Flipping is not the same as rotating
Rotating changes the sheet’s orientation; flipping reverses the content while keeping the orientation. A sideways photo needs rotation. A photo with reversed text needs flipping — rotating 180° will not do, because it would leave the image upside down as well as reversed.
The operation does not degrade the image: pixels change place without recalculation, and the output is PNG, lossless.
Use cases
- Fix a selfie that came out mirrored (backwards text)
- Mirror an image horizontally or vertically
- Create a reflection effect
- Adjust the direction of an object or face in a photo
- Standardize the orientation of a set of images
Frequently asked questions
Does flipping lose quality?
No. Flipping only rearranges the pixels, without degrading the image.
What's the difference between flip and rotate?
Rotating changes the orientation (90°/180°/270°); flipping mirrors the image, horizontally or vertically.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. The output is PNG, which preserves the transparent background.
General questions about the site
- Is it free?
- Yes — no sign-up, no usage limit and no watermark.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes, straight from your Android or iPhone browser.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. No software, no extensions.
- Is my file sent to a server?
- On tools marked as local, no — the file never leaves your device. Only three tools use a server, and each says so on its own page.
