Image Flip Tool
Mirror a picture left-to-right or top-to-bottom.
What This Tool Does
Flipping mirrors every pixel across an axis, either swapping left and right or swapping top and bottom. It's different from rotating: a flip reverses the picture rather than turning it.

What You Can Control
- Independent horizontal and vertical flip toggles that can be combined
- An instant preview so you see the mirrored result before saving
- No change to pixel dimensions or file format
- Everything happens in your browser tab, nothing is uploaded
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
Rotating spins the picture around a center point while keeping its shape. Flipping mirrors it across a line, so text or asymmetrical objects appear reversed.
Can I flip both directions at once?
Yes, toggling both horizontal and vertical is the same as rotating the picture 180 degrees.
Will flipping change the file size?
The pixel count stays the same, so the file size should stay roughly similar once re-saved.
Why would I flip a picture?
Common reasons include correcting a selfie that looks mirrored, creating a symmetrical design, or matching the direction a subject faces in a layout.
Does flipping affect text inside the picture?
Yes, any text baked into the picture will also mirror and become unreadable, since the flip applies to every pixel equally.
