What is Image Flipper?

Image Flipper is a free online tool that mirrors images horizontally (left-to-right) or vertically (top-to-bottom). It is useful for correcting mirrored selfies, creating symmetrical designs, fixing text that appears backwards, or simply changing the direction a subject faces in a photo.

How to Use Image Flipper

Upload an image by dragging it into the drop zone or clicking to browse. Click "Flip Horizontal" to mirror the image left-to-right, or "Flip Vertical" to mirror it top-to-bottom. You can apply both flips together. The preview updates instantly. Click "Download" to save the flipped image.

How Image Flipper Works

The tool loads your image onto an HTML5 Canvas element. For horizontal flipping, it applies a scale(-1, 1) transformation to the canvas context, which reverses the x-axis. For vertical flipping, it applies scale(1, -1) to reverse the y-axis. The image is then redrawn with the transformation applied. Both flips can be combined. Everything runs in your browser.

Common Use Cases

  • Fix mirrored selfies so text and logos appear correctly
  • Create mirror-image versions of product photos for design layouts
  • Flip images horizontally to change the direction a person faces
  • Generate vertically flipped reflections for creative effects
  • Correct scanned documents that were fed upside down

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical flip?

Horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right (like looking in a mirror). Vertical flip mirrors the image top-to-bottom (turning it upside down while keeping left and right the same).

Can I apply both flips at the same time?

Yes. You can flip horizontally and vertically independently. Applying both is equivalent to rotating the image 180 degrees.

Does flipping reduce image quality?

No. Flipping simply rearranges existing pixels without any compression or interpolation. The output quality is identical to the input.

Does this tool upload my images to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

What image formats are supported?

You can upload JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP images. The flipped image is downloaded as a PNG file.
