Flip an image

The usual reason to be here is a selfie camera: it saved you mirrored, and the writing on your shirt reads backwards. Drop the image, press mirror, watch the preview, save — scanned negatives and print transfers get the same one-press fix. The flip happens in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

How to flip an image

  1. Drop your image

    PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or BMP. Any rotation note your phone wrote is applied to the pixels first, so the flip starts from what you actually see.

  2. Mirror it

    Horizontal undoes a selfie camera; vertical fixes an upside-down scan. Quarter turns are one press away if the image turns out to be rotated as well.

  3. Save

    JPEG in, JPEG out; everything else comes back as lossless PNG, flipped in the pixels themselves.

What you get

A mirror is a lossless move

Flipping relocates every pixel intact — no interpolation, no softening, whatever the image size. A PNG source produces a pixel-for-pixel mirror of the original.

Text tells you which flip you need

If writing in the photo reads backwards, you want the horizontal mirror. If it reads forwards but stands on its head, that is a vertical flip — or a 180° turn, which is also right here.

The rotation tag cannot sabotage the flip

Phone photos often carry a note telling viewers to rotate them. Flip the raw pixels under that note and the result is wrong in every viewer that honours it. This page bakes the note in first and writes none out.

Questions about flipping images

Which flip undoes a mirrored selfie?
Horizontal. Front cameras preview you mirrored because that is what a bathroom mirror does, and many phones save it that way. If the text on your shirt reads backwards, one horizontal mirror puts the photo right.
Is flipping lossless?
The move itself always is — pixels are relocated, not resampled. What comes out depends on the container: PNG, BMP, GIF and WebP sources return as lossless PNG; a JPEG source is re-encoded once at high quality, which is the unavoidable minimum for JPEG.
Can I flip and rotate in one pass?
Yes — both pairs of buttons work on the same preview, and the file is written once at the end with the combined result.
Why would I flip vertically rather than rotate 180°?
They differ: 180° keeps text readable (upside-down becomes right-side-up), a vertical flip mirrors it. Scans of film negatives and some print-transfer workflows genuinely need the flip; try both with the preview and the wrong one is obvious.
Is it free, and is my image uploaded?
Free, no account, no watermark. The flip happens in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

Sideways rather than mirrored? Rotate the image. Or browse the image tools.
