Flip horizontal or vertical
Mirror a photo left-to-right or turn it upside down with one tap. Turn both on together for a full 180° flip.

Why use this tool?
No upload, no waiting
Processing runs locally in your browser, so a flipped photo is ready to download in seconds, even on a slow connection.
Keep your original format
The flipped image downloads as PNG, JPG, or WebP. The output defaults to match your source file, so a JPG stays a JPG unless you pick something else.

Flip vs. mirror vs. rotate
People use flip, mirror, and rotate to mean different things, so it helps to be precise. Flipping reverses an image along an axis: a horizontal flip swaps left and right, exactly like a mirror image, and a vertical flip swaps top and bottom. Nothing in the picture turns sideways in either case.
Rotating, by contrast, turns the whole image around a center point by 90°, 180°, or any angle. A 180° rotation happens to land on the same final picture as flipping both horizontally and vertically, but a 90° rotation is not a flip at all. If you need to turn a photo on its side rather than mirror it, use the rotate image tool instead.
Which format should you download?
The flipped image keeps your source format by default: a JPG stays a JPG, a WebP stays a WebP, and anything else downloads as PNG. Switch to PNG when the picture has transparency or sharp edges such as text or line art, since PNG introduces no compression artifacts.
Switch to JPG when a smaller file size matters more than lossless detail, such as a photo you plan to share quickly, or to WebP for a good balance of quality and file size in modern browsers.
Privacy: files stay on your device
The flip happens entirely in your browser, using canvas drawing that runs on your own computer or phone. Your photo is never uploaded to a server, which also means any EXIF or GPS location data embedded in the original file is not carried over to the download, a side effect of local processing that happens to be a privacy plus if you plan to share the flipped image.
Frequently asked questions
Does flipping an image change its dimensions?
No. A flip only mirrors the pixels along one axis; the width and height stay exactly the same as the original photo.
Can I flip and rotate the same photo?
Not in one step on this page. Flip the image here, download it, then open the rotate image tool if you also need to turn it to a specific angle.
Will flipping reverse text in my photo?
Yes. Any text in the image mirrors along with the rest of the picture, so it reads backward after a horizontal flip. If your photo is mostly text, flipping may not be what you want.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The flip happens in your browser, and the image never leaves your device.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the tool and flip your image right away, with no sign-up needed.
How many images can I flip at once?
This tool processes one image at a time. Flip and download each photo separately.
