Image Flipper
Mirror an image horizontally or vertically and save it as PNG or JPEG.
Select Asset for Mirroring
Supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP. All processing happens locally in your browser context.
Flipping mirrors an image across an axis — left becomes right, or top becomes bottom. This tool draws your image to a canvas with the axis reversed and lets you export the mirrored copy as PNG or JPEG. It is a common fix for selfies that came out reversed and for lining a subject up to face the other way in a layout. Nothing is uploaded; the flip happens in your browser.
Flipping is not the same as rotating
A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right, as if you held it up to a mirror; a vertical flip mirrors it top-to-bottom. Rotating, by contrast, turns the whole picture around a point without reversing it. The tell is text and faces: a flip produces a believable-looking but backwards mirror image (any writing reads in reverse), while a rotation keeps everything the correct way round, just at a new angle.
It is lossless geometry — the format is the only trade-off
Mirroring only rearranges existing pixels, so no detail is lost in the flip itself. The only quality decision is the export format: PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, so it is the safe choice for logos, screenshots and graphics; JPEG re-compresses the image and drops transparency but produces a smaller file, which suits photographs. Flip once and export — repeated JPEG round-trips are what actually degrade an image, not the mirroring.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
Flipping mirrors the image so it looks reversed (text reads backwards); rotating turns it to a new angle without reversing it. Use flip to face a subject the other way, rotate to straighten.
Why do I flip a selfie horizontally?
Many phone cameras save the selfie mirrored, so text and your part look reversed. A horizontal flip puts it back the way others see you.
PNG or JPEG for the output?
PNG keeps transparency and stays lossless — best for graphics. JPEG is smaller and better for photos, but it has no transparency and re-compresses the image.
Is the image sent anywhere?
No. The flip is performed on a canvas in your browser and the file is saved locally.
