Flip an image online

Runs in your browser — this file is never uploaded

Mirror an image left-to-right or top-to-bottom — flip a selfie back the right way round, correct a scanned negative, or mirror a graphic for a design. Add your images, choose a direction, and download the result.

Flipping is not the same as rotating: a flip mirrors the image, so anything with readable text or an asymmetric shape comes out reversed. Rotating turns the whole image without reversing it — Rotate Image is the tool for that.

Your images never leave your device. Flipping runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, stored, or scanned, and a batch costs no more than a single file.

How to flip image

  1. Add your images

    Drop JPG, PNG, or WebP files into the box, or click to browse.

  2. Choose a direction

    Horizontal mirrors left to right, the effect of a mirror in front of you. Vertical mirrors top to bottom.

  3. Flip and download

    Press Flip Image. One file downloads on its own; several arrive as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Flipping runs in your browser using JavaScript, so your files stay on your device. You can confirm this by opening your browser devtools Network tab while working — there are no upload requests.

Why does a selfie look 'wrong' after flipping?

A front-facing camera usually shows you mirrored, the way you're used to seeing yourself, but saves the file the way everyone else actually sees you — unmirrored. Flipping it horizontally switches between the two. Neither version is more 'correct'; it depends which one you want.

What's the difference between flipping and rotating?

Flipping mirrors the image — text becomes backwards, and an asymmetric object appears reversed. Rotating turns the whole image around a point without reversing anything, the way turning a photograph in your hands does. If a photo just came out sideways, you want Rotate Image, not this.

Does flipping reduce quality?

Mirroring pixels does not remove any of them, so there is no visible loss from the flip itself. The image is re-encoded on the way out, which for JPG applies the same small, standard compression any JPG save does.

Is there a limit on how many files?

Thirty at a time, which is a limit of your device rather than our policy — everything is held in memory while it works.
