Flipping an image creates a mirror-image reflection. Horizontal flip (left-right mirror) is useful for creating symmetrical designs, reversing text effects, or matching the perspective of a partner photo. Vertical flip (top-bottom mirror) turns an image upside down. Both operations are lossless in terms of pixel data and run instantly in your browser using the Canvas API.

How to use

  1. Click 'Choose Image' and select the image you want to flip.
  2. Select 'Flip Horizontal' to mirror left-right, or 'Flip Vertical' to mirror top-bottom.
  3. Click 'Flip' and download the flipped image.

FAQ

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical flip?

A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right, as if reflecting it in a vertical mirror. A vertical flip mirrors the image top-to-bottom, turning it upside down, as if reflecting it in a horizontal mirror.

Does flipping change the image dimensions?

No. The output image has the same width and height as the input. Flipping is a spatial transformation only — it rearranges pixels without adding or removing any.

Can I apply both flips at once?

This tool applies one flip at a time. To flip both horizontally and vertically (equivalent to a 180° rotation), flip the image horizontally first, download the result, then flip it vertically. Alternatively, use the Rotate Image tool and rotate by 180°.

Does flipping a JPEG degrade quality?

JPEG images must be decoded and re-encoded during the flip operation, which introduces a very small amount of quality loss. This is imperceptible at the quality setting used. For lossless JPEG flipping, use jpegtran with the -flip flag.

What formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, and WebP images up to 100MB are supported. The output format matches the input format.

Is the flipping done in my browser or on a server?

Flipping runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
