Flip Image — Mirror Horizontally or Vertically
Flip a photo horizontally or vertically in your browser—mirror selfies or swap layout sides without uploading. Steps: choose an image, tick horizontal and/or vertical, apply, download JPEG/WebP/PNG. Example: sample blocks with a letter mark → horizontal flip — files stay on your device.
How it works
Choose a photo, pick horizontal and/or vertical flip, apply, then download. Everything runs in this tab.
Rules
The canvas matches the source size. Horizontal flip uses scale(-1,1); vertical uses scale(1,-1); both can combine. Export re-encodes pixels.
- Horizontal: reflect across the vertical axis (left↔right).
- Vertical: reflect across the horizontal axis (top↔bottom).
- Both checked = 180° rotation equivalent for rectangular images.
- Animated GIF uses the first frame only; transparency is kept for PNG/WebP.
Example
Load sample shows asymmetric color blocks with a mark; horizontal flip is applied so the mark moves to the other side.
Good fits
- Fix mirrored selfies before posting.
- Swap left/right for layouts or mockups.
- Flip scanned pages that were upside-down (with vertical).
Frequently asked questions
Are images uploaded?
No. Decode, flip, and export run in your browser.
Is quality lost?
Flip itself is lossless in pixel order; saving as JPEG/WebP re-encodes and may change bytes.
Flip vs rotate?
Flip mirrors; rotate turns by angles. This page only mirrors.
Can I flip both ways?
Yes—tick both boxes to flip horizontally and vertically together.
What about animated GIFs?
Only the first frame is decoded and flipped.
