How it works

Three steps. Done in your browser.

Drop your image

Drag any JPEG, PNG, or WebP onto the flip zone, or click to browse from your device. All processing is local.

Choose the flip direction

Click Flip Horizontal for a left-right mirror, or Flip Vertical to flip upside down. Combine both if needed.

Save the flipped image

Your flipped image is ready instantly. Save in the same format at full quality, no upload ever.

Use cases

When you need to flip an image.

Flipping is a fast, lossless operation that corrects orientation issues and unlocks creative symmetry techniques in one click.

Fixing mirrored selfies

Front-facing cameras often save photos in a mirrored orientation. Text and details appear reversed to others. Flipping horizontally corrects this in one click without any quality loss.

Creating symmetrical compositions

Designers and photographers flip one half of an image and layer it over the original to create perfectly symmetrical compositions, common in portrait retouching and architectural photography.

Product photography corrections

If a product was photographed facing the wrong direction for a layout (a shoe facing left when the template requires right), flipping saves you from a reshoot entirely.

Fixing scanner orientation

Flatbed scanners sometimes produce images upside down or mirrored depending on how the document was placed. A quick flip corrects the scan without touching a single pixel of content.

Water reflection effects

Flipping an image vertically and placing it below the original creates a convincing water reflection for landscape photos, product mockups, and social media graphics.

Social media template alignment

Some Instagram and Pinterest templates are designed for subjects facing a specific direction. Flipping ensures the subject faces the correct way within the layout without redesigning the template.

How flipping works under the hood.

Flipping is implemented using the browser's Canvas 2D context transform system. For a horizontal flip, the context applies scale(-1, 1) and translates by the image width before drawing. For vertical, it applies scale(1, -1) and translates by the image height.

Because flipping is a matrix transform applied at draw time, no pixel data is actually moved or resampled. The GPU handles the transformation in a single pass, making the operation instant even for large images. The result is exported as a lossless Blob and saved directly to your device.

Common questions

Questions answered.

What is the difference between flip horizontal and flip vertical?
Flip horizontal (also called mirror) creates a left-to-right mirror image, like looking at the original in a mirror. Flip vertical flips the image upside down, creating a top-to-bottom mirror.
Why do selfies often look wrong to others?
Front-facing cameras show a mirrored preview so you see yourself as you normally do in a mirror. But when the photo is saved, some phones save it as-is (mirrored). If your selfie looks reversed to others, use Flip Horizontal to correct it.
Does flipping reduce image quality?
No. Flipping is a non-destructive pixel transformation. No pixels are added, removed, or recompressed. The output is identical in quality to the input.
Can I flip and rotate in the same operation?
Yes. The tool supports both flipping and rotating independently. Apply both operations before saving and the result will include all transformations applied.
Does flipping change the file size?
The output file size will be very similar to the input. The flip operation does not change the amount of pixel data, so any file size difference is minimal.
Will flipping strip EXIF metadata?
The flipped output is a fresh canvas export, so most EXIF metadata is stripped. This is actually helpful: it removes the EXIF orientation flag that was causing display inconsistencies across apps.
Can I flip an animated WebP or GIF?
This tool processes static images. Animated WebP or GIF files are not supported: only the first frame would be processed.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All flipping happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your file never leaves your device.
