Image Flip
Flip images horizontally (mirror), vertically (upside down), or both directions with our free online flip tool. Perfect for creating mirror images, fixing orientation issues, or creating symmetrical effects for your photos and graphics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Upload your image and choose your flip direction: horizontal (creates a mirror image), vertical (flips upside down), or both (mirror and upside down). Click Flip Image to process and download your flipped image instantly.
Horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right, creating a mirror effect. Vertical flip flips the image top-to-bottom, turning it upside down. You can apply both flips simultaneously for a 180-degree rotation effect.
No, flipping is a lossless transformation that doesn't reduce image quality. The pixels are simply rearranged in a different order without any compression or degradation.
Yes, simply apply the same flip operation again. For example, if you flipped horizontally, flip horizontally again to return to the original orientation.
Flip creates a mirror image by reversing pixels along an axis, while rotate turns the image by a specific angle. For a 180-degree rotation effect, use both horizontal and vertical flip together.
Our flip tool supports all major image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and more. The output format matches your input format to preserve compatibility.
Horizontal flipping is useful for creating mirror images for design symmetry, fixing selfie images to match real-world orientation, creating reflections, correcting images scanned backwards, or achieving specific artistic compositions where the reversed orientation better serves the visual narrative.
Yes, many front-facing cameras automatically mirror images, making text appear backwards and asymmetrical features look unfamiliar. Horizontal flipping corrects this mirroring, showing your true appearance as others see you. This is especially important for photos containing readable text or logos.
Yes, flipping preserves both EXIF data (including camera settings, date, and location information) and transparency in PNG images. The transformation only affects pixel arrangement without modifying metadata or alpha channel information, maintaining all original image properties.
Absolutely. Flipping is essential for creating symmetrical designs, kaleidoscope effects, mirror patterns, and balanced compositions. Combine original and flipped versions to create perfectly symmetrical artwork, book covers, posters, or decorative patterns with professional-looking bilateral symmetry.
