Why it Matters

Flipping an image is one of the most common quick edits — correcting a selfie that came out mirrored, matching the direction a subject faces, or creating a symmetrical layout. Doing it online usually means uploading your photo to a server you don't control. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so the edit is instant and your image stays private.

Use Cases

Fix Mirrored Selfies

Front cameras often mirror photos — flip horizontally to restore the natural orientation.

Match Subject Direction

Flip a photo so a person or object faces the same way as the rest of your layout.

Create Symmetry

Mirror an element to build balanced, symmetrical designs and mock-ups.

Quick Social Edits

Reorient an image before posting without installing any editing software.

How to use

  1. Upload your image (JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF).
  2. Choose a flip direction — horizontal mirrors left-to-right, vertical mirrors top-to-bottom.
  3. Pick an output format (PNG keeps transparency; JPG and WebP are smaller and let you set quality).
  4. The preview updates instantly — click Download flipped image to save it.

Horizontal vs vertical

A horizontal flip is what you see in a mirror: the left and right sides swap. It’s the fix for selfies that came out reversed and the quickest way to make a subject face the other direction.

A vertical flip swaps top and bottom, like a reflection on water. It’s less common but useful for reflections, kaleidoscope effects, and correcting images that were scanned or captured upside down.

Common use cases

  • Correcting front-camera selfies that were saved mirrored.
  • Matching layout direction so a subject faces into the page, not off it.
  • Building symmetrical designs by mirroring one half onto the other.
  • Fast social edits with no app install and no upload.

Private by design

Everything happens locally in your browser through the HTML Canvas API. Your image is never sent anywhere, which makes the flip instant and keeps your files private.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does flipping reduce image quality?
No. A horizontal or vertical flip just re-orders pixels — it is lossless. Any small size change comes only from re-encoding; choose PNG to keep the image pixel-perfect.
What's the difference between horizontal and vertical flip?
A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right (like a mirror). A vertical flip mirrors it top-to-bottom (like a reflection in water).
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Flipping runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is ever uploaded, so your image stays completely private.
Which formats can I export?
PNG (keeps transparency), JPG, and WebP. For JPG and WebP you can also adjust the output quality.
