Flip, rotate and mirror

  • Flip horizontally swaps the left and the right side, like looking in a mirror.
  • Flip vertically swaps the top and the bottom, like a reflection in still water.
  • Rotate turns the picture without mirroring it. Use the image rotator for that.

How to flip an image

  1. Drop one or more images on the box.
  2. Select Flip horizontal or Flip vertical. Use both for a half turn.
  3. Choose the format, then download the image or a ZIP of all of them.

Why flip a picture

  • To reverse a selfie that your phone mirrored or did not mirror.
  • To make a subject face the other way in a layout.
  • To check a composition or a drawing with fresh eyes, since a mirrored picture makes mistakes easier to see.
  • To mirror a picture before printing on a transfer sheet, so that it reads correctly after it is ironed on.

Text becomes backwards

Any text in a flipped picture reads backwards. If a picture just looks upside down and the text reads correctly when you turn the page, you need a rotation, not a flip. See rotate 180 degrees.

Frequently asked questions

How do I flip an image?

Open the image and select Flip horizontal or Flip vertical. Then download the result.

What is the difference between flipping and rotating?

Flipping mirrors the picture, so text becomes backwards. Rotating turns it and keeps text readable.

Can I flip many images at once?

Yes. Add up to 50 images, flip them all together, and download a ZIP.

Does flipping reduce quality?

No. The pixels are only rearranged. JPG and WebP are saved again, so use a quality of 90 or higher.
