Flipped image preview

When to Flip Images

Flipping creates a mirror image of your photo. The most common use case is correcting selfie photos — smartphone front cameras mirror the preview, so the final image may look reversed from what you expected. A horizontal flip corrects this natural mirror effect.

Horizontal vs Vertical Flip

  • Horizontal Flip: Left becomes right. Useful for selfies, fixing direction, or creating symmetrical designs.
  • Vertical Flip: Top becomes bottom (upside down). Useful for creating water reflection effects or fixing scanning errors.

Combining Flip with Other Edits

After flipping, you can use our Rotate Tool for additional orientation adjustment, or Crop Tool to reframe the composition. Use our Image Compressor to reduce file size before sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between flipping and rotating?

Flipping creates a mirror image along an axis. Rotating turns the image around a center point. A 180° rotation looks like a vertical + horizontal flip but is technically different — rotated text would be upside down, while flipped text would be mirrored.

Can I apply both horizontal and vertical flip?

Yes! Click "Flip Horizontal" then "Flip Vertical" to apply both. The status indicator shows which flips are currently applied. Note that both H+V flip is equivalent to a 180° rotation.
