What Is an Image Flip?

Flipping mirrors an image across an axis. A horizontal flip reverses it left-to-right, like a mirror reflection — handy for facing a portrait the other way or correcting a selfie. A vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom, producing an upside-down reflection. Applying both at once is equivalent to a 180° rotation.

Unlike compression or resizing, flipping is a purely geometric rearrangement of existing pixels, so it's completely lossless — no detail is added or lost. This tool performs the flip with the Canvas API by translating the drawing origin and scaling by -1 along the chosen axis before drawing the image.

The transform runs in your browser and the result is exported as a lossless PNG. The source image is never uploaded, so personal photos stay on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between horizontal and vertical flip?
Horizontal flip mirrors left-right (like a mirror). Vertical flip mirrors top-bottom (upside-down reflection).
Can I flip both directions at once?
Yes. Apply a horizontal flip and then a vertical flip to rotate the image 180 degrees.
Does flipping affect image quality?
No. Flipping is a lossless transformation that simply rearranges existing pixels—no quality loss.
