Flip Image
Mirror images horizontally or vertically. Lossless, instant, in your browser.
Flip an image to mirror it horizontally or vertically, instantly and in your browser. A horizontal flip swaps left and right, like looking in a mirror; a vertical flip turns it top-to-bottom. The whole thing happens on your device, so your picture is never uploaded and never leaves your phone or computer.
Flipping is handy for fixing selfies that read backwards, mirroring a design element, or correcting a scan or screenshot that came in reversed. No signup, no watermark, no upload wait.

Mirror an image horizontally or vertically in one click — fix a reversed selfie or create a mirrored version. Lossless and instant, all in your browser.
How to use the Flip Image
- 1
Load your image
Drop a file onto the page or tap to choose one. It opens locally in the browser, with no upload and no server copy.
- 2
Choose a direction
Pick horizontal to swap left and right, or vertical to flip top and bottom. You can apply both for a 180-degree mirror effect.
- 3
Check the preview
Watch the live preview update. Look at text or faces to confirm it is mirrored the way you intended.
- 4
Save it
Download the flipped image. Your original stays untouched, so you can flip the other way or start over anytime.
Flip vs rotate: they are not the same
Flipping and rotating look similar but do different things. A flip is a mirror reflection: it reverses the image across an axis, so left becomes right (or top becomes bottom) and any text reads backwards. A rotation pivots the whole image around its center without ever reversing it, so text stays readable, just turned. A quick test: flip a photo of writing and the letters mirror; rotate it and they only tilt. If your goal is to undo a mirror-image selfie, you want flip, not rotate.
When flipping is the right fix
- Front-camera selfies that save mirrored, so signs and shirt logos read backwards.
- Scanned film negatives or documents fed in the wrong way, producing a reversed image.
- Screenshots or webcam captures that came out as a mirror image.
- Design work where you need a symmetric counterpart, like a left-facing arrow turned right-facing.
- Matching the direction of two images so a subject faces into a layout instead of out of it.
A flip is lossless in effect because the pixels are simply reordered, not recolored, so quality stays the same.
Quick tips
- ✓Use horizontal flip to "un-mirror" a front-camera selfie so text and logos read correctly.
- ✓Flipping twice in the same direction returns the original, so it is a safe, fully reversible edit.
- ✓Need a true upside-down image? Apply both a horizontal and a vertical flip, which equals a 180-degree turn.
- ✓If text in the result reads backwards, you flipped it; if it only looks tilted, you rotated it instead.
- ✓Flipping does not resample pixels, so there is no quality loss no matter how many times you do it.
Frequently asked questions
Is flipping lossless?
Yes — flipping only rearranges existing pixels, so there is no quality loss.
Can I flip both directions?
Yes — apply horizontal and vertical flips together for a 180° mirror.
How is flipping different from rotating?
Flipping mirrors the image; rotating turns it. Use the Rotate tool to turn by an angle.
What is the difference between flip and rotate?
Flip mirrors the image across an axis, so text reads backwards. Rotate pivots it around the center without reversing it, so text stays readable but tilted.
Does flipping lower image quality?
No. A flip just reorders existing pixels without recalculating any colors or re-compressing, so the result is identical in quality to the original.
How do I make an image fully upside down?
Apply a horizontal flip and a vertical flip together. Combined, they produce the same result as rotating the image 180 degrees.
