Left and right exchange places
A horizontal flip mirrors the picture across a vertical axis. A face looking left will look right, and written text will read backward. The top and bottom remain where they were.

Sometimes the picture is the right way up but faces the wrong direction. Flip Image makes mirroring a visible choice: swap left with right, top with bottom, or both. The two direction cards show what each change means, and the original remains one click away for comparison. Download a separate image when its direction works for your next task.

UNDERSTAND THE RESULT
A little context before the next click.
Top and bottom exchange places
A vertical flip reflects the picture across a horizontal axis. The top edge becomes the bottom, while left and right stay in their positions. Selecting both flips produces the same pixel arrangement as a 180° turn.
The shape stays the same
Mirroring preserves the displayed width and height. It does not crop, stretch, resize, or add borders. Transparent pixels move with the image when you choose PNG or WebP output.
HOW TO USE IT
From an original to a clear next step.
- Choose or drop a still JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. You can use Sample before opening your own file.
- Select Left ↔ right to mirror horizontally or Top ↕ bottom to mirror vertically. The selected card stays highlighted and the current-result label describes the combination.
- Compare Original and Result. Click a selected direction again to undo that flip, or use Reset to restore both directions at once.
- Choose an output format and inspect the result. Download a new file; the original image and its direction stay unchanged on your device.
EVERYDAY USES
Small image tasks, with room to see.
Balance a page composition
A mirrored illustration can face toward a heading or another element. Check whether lettering, symbols, clothing, or other direction-sensitive details make the flipped version inappropriate.
Compare a camera mirror view
Some camera previews and saved photographs use different left-right conventions. Compare the original and mirrored versions and choose the one you intended, rather than assuming every camera behaves the same way.
Build a reflected graphic
Use horizontal or vertical mirroring for a visual arrangement, a pattern, or an illustration. The tool reflects the entire raster image; it does not select and flip just one object inside it.
YOUR IMAGE, YOUR DEVICE
Local processing. A separate result.
The selected image is read and processed in this browser. This tool does not upload the file to a server or save it in browser storage. Choosing another file or leaving the tool releases its working images. Downloaded copies remain wherever your browser saves them.
Every change starts from the original image in memory. Export creates a new raster file; original EXIF, camera information, and embedded profile metadata are not copied. Browser decoding and color management can affect the result, so keep your original for archival work.
This release handles one file at a time, up to 25 MB, 16 megapixels, and 16,384 pixels on either side. Animated images are rejected rather than flattened to one frame. Browser encoding support can vary. A failed export shows an error and never leaves an outdated result ready to download. Read the site privacy policy for the surrounding website.
File sizes and limits use decimal units: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes and 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. Rounded labels are for readability; target checks compare exact bytes.

Before you save or share.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical?
Horizontal mirroring swaps left and right. Vertical mirroring swaps top and bottom. The direction cards include diagrams and plain-language labels so you do not have to remember the terminology.
Can I apply both directions?
Yes. Both buttons can be selected. The result is equivalent to a 180° rotation of the decoded picture, with the same width and height.
Will text become backward?
A horizontal flip mirrors everything, including text and logos. This tool does not detect lettering or correct it separately. Inspect the result before using it.
Does a flip remove transparency?
PNG and WebP output retain transparent pixels. JPEG cannot store transparency, so any transparent areas are composited onto white during export.
Will flipping twice restore the original?
Clicking the same selected direction again turns that flip off. The result is regenerated from the original pixels, not from an already flipped and compressed copy.
Does this correct EXIF metadata?
The browser first decodes the source with supported orientation information. Flipping then changes those displayed pixels. The downloaded raster is newly encoded and does not copy the original EXIF orientation tag or other camera metadata.
ANOTHER SMALL TASK?
Keep the next step close.
Ready for the image in front of you?
Mirror left and right, top and bottom, or both. See the direction before saving.
