About this tool
Mirroring, and why it is not rotation
Mirror it left-to-right or top-to-bottom, or both. Lossless, instant, and the file never leaves your browser.
A flip reflects the image across an axis; a rotation turns it. Flip a photo of someone holding a sign and the sign reads backwards — rotate it 180° and the whole picture is upside down instead. Both are here, and both are lossless: the pixels move to new positions without being recalculated.

Horizontal, vertical, or both
Toggle either axis and the preview mirrors immediately. Applying both is the same as a 180° rotation, which is why they share a panel with it.
Nothing is recalculated
A mirror maps every pixel to a new coordinate without interpolating, so the result is exactly as sharp as the original. There is no quality setting because there is no loss to trade.
Combine with a crop or resize
Flip first, then crop or resize on top — each tool works on the result of the last, and the sidebar lists the chain so you can undo any step.
Step by step
How to flip an image
Add your image
Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or iPhone HEIC onto the page, or press Browse files. It opens in this tab — nothing is uploaded.
Mirror it
Flip it horizontally, vertically or both. Pixels are remapped rather than resampled, so the flip itself loses nothing.
Download
Save the flipped image straight to your device. Every step is in the history, so you can undo before you save.

Questions
Questions about this tool
Everything here runs in your browser, so the answer to “where does my file go?” is always: nowhere. More in the general FAQ.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating an image?
Flipping mirrors the image across an axis, so text becomes reversed. Rotating turns it around its centre, so text stays readable but the whole frame is reoriented. Flipping both horizontally and vertically gives the same result as rotating 180°.
How do I mirror a selfie so text reads correctly?
Front cameras often save the preview-mirrored version, which reverses any writing. Flip Horizontal once and the text reads the right way round again.
Does flipping an image lose quality?
No. A flip moves each pixel to a mirrored coordinate with no resampling, so the output is exactly as sharp as the input. Whatever quality change you see comes only from the format you save as.
Can I flip only part of an image?
Not directly — the flip applies to the whole canvas. You can crop to the region you want first, flip that, and save it, but there is no partial or layered flip here.
Will the flip be visible in the saved file?
Yes. It is applied to the pixels, not stored as a metadata hint, so every viewer and every editor sees the mirrored version.
