Image Flipper

Flip images horizontally and vertically online for free.

Flipping and rotating are often confused but do different things: a flip mirrors the image across an axis, a rotation spins it around a point. If a photo is sideways, you need the rotator, not a flip — flipping a sideways photo just mirrors the wrong orientation.

How to flip an image

  1. Upload: Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP file.
  2. Choose direction: Horizontal (left-right mirror) or vertical (top-bottom mirror) — apply either or both.
  3. Preview: Check the result before downloading.
  4. Download: Save in your chosen format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between flipping and rotating?

Flipping mirrors the image across an axis (left-right or top-bottom) without changing its orientation angle. Rotating turns the whole image around a point (90°, 180°, or any custom angle). A sideways photo needs rotation; a mirrored logo or reversed scan needs a flip.

Why would text look backwards after flipping?

A horizontal flip mirrors everything in the image, including any text — it will read backwards. This is expected behavior, not a bug; flipping is a full mirror, not a selective edit.

Does flipping affect image quality?

No. Flipping just repositions existing pixels — it doesn't resample or compress the image.

Is it safe to use this browser-based tool?

Yes. Processing happens locally in your browser — images are never uploaded to a server.
