About the Image Flipper
Flipping an image swaps it left to right or top to bottom, and the most common reason to want it is a selfie. Front cameras mirror what they show you so the preview matches a bathroom mirror, but many save the un-mirrored version, which is why a photo can look subtly wrong in a way you cannot name. Flipping it horizontally restores the face you are used to seeing.
The other uses are compositional. A subject looking off the left edge of a frame can be flipped to look into the page instead, which is the standard fix when a photo sits beside text. Designers flip elements to build symmetrical layouts. Anyone printing an iron-on transfer or a window decal has to flip the artwork first, because it will be read from the other side.
Both toggles work together, and turning on horizontal and vertical at once is the same as rotating 180 degrees. The preview updates the moment you toggle either one, so you can compare the two versions before committing. JPGs export as JPGs, PNGs keep transparency, and the export is at full resolution. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
- Flipping mirrors the image, so text reads backwards. Rotating turns it while keeping the same handedness, so text stays readable.
- How do I un-mirror a selfie?
- Upload it and turn on Flip horizontally. That reverses the mirroring your front camera applied and gives you the face you see in a mirror.
- Does flipping reduce quality?
- No meaningful loss. Flipping rearranges existing pixels rather than resampling them.
