Image Flip

Flip your images horizontally or vertically.

How to Use Image Flip

  1. Upload an image.
  2. Choose Horizontal Flip (left-right), Vertical Flip (upside down) or Both Directions.
  3. Click download. The flipped copy is saved as, for example, photo-flipped.jpg.

Flip versus rotate

Flipping makes a mirror image: text appears backwards after a horizontal flip. Rotating turns the picture without mirroring it. Flipping in both directions gives the same result as rotating 180°. If you just need a sideways photo the right way up, use the Image Rotator instead.

Front cameras on many phones save selfies mirrored, the way you see yourself in a mirror. A horizontal flip shows the scene as other people see it, which is why it fixes backwards writing on a T-shirt or sign.

Common reasons to flip a picture

Front cameras on many phones save a mirrored selfie, so text on your shirt or a sign behind you reads backwards; a horizontal flip fixes it. Designers flip photos so a person faces into the page towards the headline rather than out of it, and flipping is handy for making symmetrical patterns or a matching left and right graphic.

Be careful with anything that contains writing, logos or a recognisable place: a flipped photo can look subtly wrong to people who know it.

Key Features & Practical Use Cases

  • Un-mirroring a selfie so text in the background reads the right way.
  • Flipping a product photo so it faces the same way as the others on a page.
  • Making mirror-image designs or reflections for artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I mirror a selfie?

Choose Horizontal Flip. Left and right swap, so backwards text reads correctly again.

Is flipping both ways the same as rotating 180°?

Yes, the result is identical.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. PNG and WebP images keep transparent areas; the image is saved in the format you uploaded.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Flipping happens in your browser.
