Flip an image in your browser
This tool mirrors a picture along one axis. Horizontal is the setting people want most of the time: it reverses left and right, which is how you fix a mirrored selfie, make a subject face the other way in a layout, or prepare an image for iron-on transfers and window decals that are printed in reverse. Vertical turns the picture upside down, which is handy for reflections and for scans fed the wrong way. Both combines the two and gives the same result as a 180° turn; for other angles use Rotate Image.
Everything happens in the page itself. Your browser decodes the file, draws it mirrored on a canvas and saves the result, so even large photos are processed in a fraction of a second and your files never leave your computer or phone.
Supported formats and what you get back
You can open JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF (first frame), BMP and SVG files, plus iPhone HEIC photos. The flipped image is saved in the same format whenever the browser can write it:
| You open | You download |
|---|---|
| JPG | JPG (quality 92%) |
| PNG | PNG, transparency kept |
| WebP | WebP (PNG in browsers that can’t save WebP, such as Safari) |
| HEIC, AVIF | JPG |
| SVG, GIF, BMP | PNG |
If you would rather change the format at the same time, flip first and then use a converter such as PNG to JPG or JPG to WebP.
Flip vs. mirror vs. rotate
These three words are often mixed up. Flipping reverses the image along one axis. Rotating turns it around its center without reversing it — text stays readable. Mirror effects can also mean a symmetrical picture where one half is reflected onto the other; that is what Mirror Image does in its symmetry modes, in addition to a plain mirror.
A quick way to check: if text in the photo reads backwards after the change, the image was flipped, not rotated.
Tips for common uses
- Selfies and video calls: flip horizontally so that text on clothing and signs reads correctly.
- Print transfers: T-shirt transfer paper and some window stickers need the design mirrored before printing. Flip horizontally, then print at the original size.
- Layouts: when a person or product faces out of the page, flipping makes them face your text. Avoid it when there is visible text or a logo in the picture.
- Before posting side by side: to compare two shots facing each other, flip one and combine them with Side by Side Photos.
Privacy
There is no upload step at all. The page’s code runs locally and the site’s security policy only allows it to talk to its own server, so your images cannot be sent anywhere. The output is rebuilt from pixels, which also drops hidden metadata such as GPS coordinates — if you want to remove metadata without changing the image, use Remove EXIF Data.
