Frequently Asked Questions
How do I flip an image horizontally?
Open your image, then click the Flip Horizontal button below the preview. The image mirrors left-to-right immediately — click it again to flip back. Then click Save to download.
How do I flip an image vertically?
Open your image, then click the Flip Vertical button. The image mirrors top-to-bottom. Use this to fix scanned photos that came out upside down, or to create a reflection effect.
You can combine both flips — clicking Flip Horizontal then Flip Vertical gives you a 180° rotation without touching the rotate tool.
What's the difference between flip and rotate?
Flipping mirrors the image (left-right or top-bottom) without changing its dimensions — a 4000×3000 photo stays 4000×3000 after flipping.
Rotating turns the image around its center point and swaps width/height for 90° rotations — a 4000×3000 photo becomes 3000×4000 after a 90° rotation.
Use flip to mirror text in signs or fix selfies; use rotate to fix sideways photos taken in portrait orientation.
Does flipping reduce image quality?
No. Flipping is pixel-perfect — every pixel is moved to its mirror position with no interpolation or color change. A flipped image is identical in quality to the original.
Why do my selfies look mirrored?
Front-facing phone cameras save a horizontally-mirrored preview by default so the on-screen view matches the mirror you're used to. When you share the photo via Messages or AirDrop, Apple devices often show it mirrored again — making it look correct in the chat. But once the file is opened in other tools (editors, web uploads, prints), it appears mirrored.
Our flipper lets you bake the correct orientation into the file with one click — then it looks right everywhere.
What format is the flipped image saved as?
The flipped image is saved in the same format as the original (JPG, PNG, or WebP). JPG output uses 0.92 quality. PNG transparency is fully preserved — logos and icons stay clean on transparent backgrounds.
After saving, if the file is still too large, run it through our Image Compressor.
Is flipping really private?
Yes! All flipping happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. You can verify this by going offline after loading the page — the tool keeps working.
Does this work offline?
Yes! Once you've visited the page, flipping works without internet. All processing happens locally in your browser, so you can flip images anywhere — even on a plane.
