Flip an image horizontally, vertically, or both (180 degrees).
Upload an image to preview the mirrored result.
This tool flips an image along an axis -- horizontally (left-right mirror), vertically (top-bottom mirror), or both at once (equivalent to a full 180-degree rotation) -- entirely in your browser.
Upload an image and choose Horizontal, Vertical, or Both. The preview updates instantly, and you can download the flipped result.
The image is redrawn onto a canvas with its coordinate system scaled by -1 along the chosen axis (or axes) before drawing -- a standard canvas transform technique that mirrors every pixel's position without altering the image's actual color data.
Correcting a selfie or webcam photo that appears mirrored compared to how it should be shared. Creating a symmetrical design element from a single asymmetrical image. Flipping a direction-sensitive graphic (like an arrow or a character facing a specific way) to face the opposite direction.
Choosing between the three options is easier with a concrete picture. Imagine a photo of a person on the left side of the frame looking toward the right. A horizontal flip puts the person on the right, looking left. A vertical flip turns the whole scene upside down while keeping left and right where they were, like a reflection in a lake. Choosing both produces the same picture as turning the print half a revolution on a table. Which one you need depends on what you are correcting or creating.
Flipping horizontally reverses any text in the image so it reads backward. That is often the whole point when you are preparing something for iron-on transfers, window decals, or printing on transfer paper, where the design must be reversed to read correctly once applied. For a photo that already contains readable signs, however, flipping may create text that looks wrong to viewers. Check the preview for any words, numbers, or logos before you download.
Flipping only rearranges pixel positions. Colors, sharpness, and image dimensions stay the same. Because the flipped picture is re-drawn and exported as a new file, a lossy format like JPG may apply compression again, which can cause a small quality change. If you need to keep maximum quality, start from a PNG or the highest quality original available.
Horizontal flip mirrors left-to-right (like a mirror reflection facing you); vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom (like the image reflected in still water below it).
Yes -- flipping both horizontally and vertically produces the same visual result as rotating the image a full 180 degrees.
No. The output has the same width and height as the original. Only the arrangement of pixels changes.
Not usually. A flip mirrors an image, while a rotation turns it. If a photo is sideways, you need a rotation, though flipping both axes gives a 180-degree turn.
Upload the downloaded file and apply the same flip again. Doing the same flip twice restores the original orientation.
