How to use Flip Image

  1. 01

    Pick your photo

    Select a file from your device. It opens directly in the browser tab — no upload happens.

  2. 02

    Choose horizontal or vertical

    Horizontal mirrors the image left-to-right — the classic fix for a mirrored selfie; vertical flips it top-to-bottom.

  3. 03

    The browser mirrors it instantly

    The flip happens locally on your device the moment you choose a direction, keeping the source format.

  4. 04

    Download the flipped image

    Save the result straight to your device — no upload was ever involved.

Settings guide

Direction (horizontal or vertical)
Horizontal mirrors the image left-to-right — the classic fix for mirrored selfies; vertical flips it top-to-bottom. The file keeps its original format, and processing happens entirely in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.

About the formats

JPG

JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used lossy image format for photographs, standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992. Practically every camera, phone, and image application can create and open it.

Its strengths are small file sizes for photos and universal compatibility across devices, browsers, and software. The trade-offs: lossy compression introduces artifacts, there is no transparency support, and quality degrades a little more with every re-save. Use JPG for photographs; choose PNG for screenshots, logos, or anything that needs sharp edges or transparency.

PNG

PNG is a lossless raster image format created in the mid-1990s as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It is the standard choice for screenshots, logos, UI graphics, and any image that needs transparency.

PNG preserves every pixel exactly and supports a full 8-bit alpha channel, so text and sharp edges stay crisp. The downside is size: photographs saved as PNG are far larger than the same image as JPG or WebP. Support is universal in browsers and editors, making it a safe default for graphics — just avoid it for large photo collections.

WebP

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression, along with transparency and animation. At comparable visual quality it usually produces noticeably smaller files than JPG or PNG.

Every current browser supports WebP, which makes it an excellent default for web delivery. Outside the browser the picture is mixed: older desktop software, some email clients, and legacy systems may fail to open it. If a recipient cannot view a WebP file, convert it to JPG for photos or to PNG when transparency must be preserved.

Troubleshooting

I actually need to rotate the image, not mirror it
Flipping mirrors the image along an axis; it is not the same as rotating. One useful trick: applying a horizontal flip and then a vertical flip is equivalent to a 180° rotation. A 90° rotation, however, is a different operation that flipping cannot reproduce.
Text reads backwards after flipping
That is exactly what mirroring does — every element, including text, is reversed. If you flipped a mirrored selfie, signs and text should now read correctly; if you flipped a normal photo by mistake, simply flip it horizontally once more to restore it.
Does my photo leave my device?
No. Flipping runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded and no copy of the image is stored on our servers, so the tool is safe for private photos.

FAQ

Can I flip horizontally and vertically?
Yes. Choose horizontal to mirror left-to-right, or vertical to flip top-to-bottom.
Is the conversion private?
Yes. Your files are processed securely and deleted after conversion. We never share your photos.
Is there a file size limit?
Free accounts can upload files up to 50 MB. Paid users can upload up to 200 MB.
How is flipping different from rotating?
Flipping mirrors the image along an axis; it is not the same as rotating. Applying a horizontal flip and then a vertical flip is equivalent to a 180° rotation, but a 90° rotation is a different operation that flipping cannot reproduce.
Why does text read backwards after flipping?
That is exactly what mirroring does — every element, including text, is reversed. If you flipped a mirrored selfie, text should now read correctly; if you flipped a normal photo by mistake, flip it once more to restore it.
Does my photo leave my device?
No. Flipping runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded and no copy of the image is stored on our servers.
Is there a limit on how many images I can flip?
No. Since flipping runs entirely in your browser, single-file use is free and unlimited.
