What is Flip Image

Last reviewed:

Flipping an image mirrors its pixels across an axis. A horizontal flip swaps left and right; a vertical flip swaps top and bottom. You can combine both for a 180° rotation with mirrored content.

Flip Image lets you toggle each axis independently and export a PNG or JPG of the result — useful for fixing reversed scans, preparing mirror-image designs, or just spotting issues in a layout.

Why use it

  • Fix photos that came out reversed from a selfie camera or scanner.
  • Prepare mirrored artwork for print, stickers, or iron-ons.
  • Quickly spot layout issues by flipping a UI mockup.
  • Runs entirely in your browser.

Features

  • Horizontal and vertical toggles
  • One-click mirror
  • Transparency preserved
  • PNG and JPG export
  • Drag-and-drop image upload
  • Flip runs locally in your browser

How to use Flip Image

  1. Upload. Drop an image into the workspace.
  2. Choose axes. Toggle horizontal, vertical, or both.
  3. Export. Click Download to save the mirrored result.

Example (before/after)

Original photo

selfie.jpg (1080×1080, text legible at top-right)

Horizontally flipped

selfie.png (1080×1080, mirrored so text is reversed and visible at top-left)

Common errors

Text reads backwards

Flipping a photo containing readable text reverses it — sometimes unwanted.

Fix: If you only need to correct orientation without mirroring text, use Rotate Image instead.

Exported as JPG instead of PNG

JPG loses transparency and re-compresses the image.

Fix: Pick PNG in the export dropdown for a lossless flipped copy.

FAQ

Can I flip both axes?

Yes — toggle both switches for a combined 180° mirrored effect.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Flipping is done locally using the Canvas API.

Does it support transparent PNGs?

Yes. The alpha channel is preserved on PNG export.

What about EXIF orientation?

EXIF orientation is respected when loading the image, so flips happen on the visually correct version.
