Image Flipper: Flip a Picture Horizontally or Vertically
Flip an image to mirror its orientation for a layout, reflection effect or corrected scan. Choose a supported file, select a direction and inspect text and logos before using the result.
Mirror an image
- Choose an image from your device.
- Select horizontal to mirror left and right, or vertical to reverse top and bottom.
- Process the image and review the preview.
- Check any text, logos, labels or directional symbols carefully.
- Download the flipped copy and retain the source file if needed.
Horizontal versus vertical flip
A horizontal flip mirrors the image across a vertical axis; a vertical flip mirrors it across a horizontal axis. Neither option rotates the image.
Check text and directional details
Mirroring reverses readable text and can change the direction of arrows, maps, product labels or people’s handedness. Confirm that this is intended before sharing.
Horizontal and vertical flips
A horizontal flip mirrors the picture from left to right, like looking at it in a mirror. A vertical flip mirrors it from top to bottom. Neither option turns the picture, so the subject does not rotate. To turn a picture by a quarter turn, use Image Rotator instead.
When flipping helps
Photos taken with a front camera are often saved as a mirror image, so a horizontal flip shows the scene the way other people see it. Flipping also helps when you want a subject to face the other way in a layout, or when a product photo needs to match the direction of other photos on a page. Use a vertical flip when a scan or photo was taken upside down in a mirror-like way.
Check text and details
Flipping reverses writing, so a sign, a shirt or a label becomes unreadable, and arrows, maps and clocks change meaning. A face can also look slightly different because most faces are not perfectly symmetrical. Look at the preview before you download, and keep the original file, because the tool saves the result as a new file.
Frequently asked questions
Is flipping the same as rotating?
No. Flipping mirrors the image. Rotation turns it by an angle such as 90 degrees.
Does the original file change?
No. The tool creates a separate output download.
Which flip fixes a mirrored selfie?
A horizontal flip.
Will the original file change?
No. The flipped picture is a separate download.
