Flip Image

Flipping an image creates a mirror reflection of it, either left-to-right (a horizontal flip) or top-to-bottom (a vertical flip). This tool does both with a single click and shows the result instantly. It helps to be clear about the difference between flipping and rotating, because they are often confused. A horizontal flip mirrors the image across a vertical axis, so the left and right sides swap and any text becomes reversed and unreadable. A vertical flip mirrors across a horizontal axis, swapping top and bottom. Rotating, by contrast, turns the whole image around its center without ever creating a mirror image, so text stays the right way round. That distinction matters: if your goal is to make a phone selfie's background text read correctly, a horizontal flip fixes it, but a 180-degree rotation would not. Applying both a horizontal and a vertical flip together produces a 180-degree point reflection, which happens to look identical to a 180-degree rotation, a useful shortcut to know. Mechanically, flipping is one of the cleanest operations in image editing because it only reorders existing pixels. Columns are reversed for a horizontal flip, rows for a vertical flip, with no resampling or interpolation, so the result is effectively lossless and is exported at the same quality as the input. The original stays loaded in the editor, so you can flip again or back without degrading anything. It accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP and matches the output format to the input. Everything runs locally in your browser with no upload, no account, and no watermark, so it is well suited to quick fixes on private or work photos. Common uses include correcting selfie mirroring, building symmetrical compositions, standardizing the facing direction of product shots in a catalog, and preparing before-and-after graphics that must share one orientation.
