Flip Images

Flip images horizontally or vertically. Batch supported.

Mirror images horizontally or vertically, individually or in bulk. Useful for correcting selfie-camera reversal and for design work that needs a mirrored version.

Flipping is not rotating

Rotation turns an image around its centre; flipping mirrors it across an axis, producing a reversed version. A rotated photograph shows the same scene from a different angle of view. A flipped one shows a mirror image — text reads backwards, and a person's parting moves to the other side.

Frequently asked questions

Does flipping reduce quality?

No. Flipping rearranges existing pixels with no interpolation, so it is completely lossless. The only quality change comes from re-encoding on export, which you can avoid by exporting to a lossless format.

Why do my selfies look backwards?

The front camera shows you a mirrored preview so that framing feels natural, and many phones save that mirrored version. Flipping horizontally gives you the image as others actually see you.

What is the difference between flipping and rotating 180°?

Rotating 180° turns the image upside down; the scene is unchanged, just inverted. Flipping mirrors it, so left and right swap and any text reads backwards. They are genuinely different results.

Can I flip many images at once?

Yes. Batch flipping applies the same operation to every file and returns them as a ZIP.

Can I flip and rotate together?

Yes — use both tools in sequence, or the Image Cropper, which offers rotation and flipping alongside cropping with full undo.

Should I flip a photo for a passport application?

No. Submit the true, unmirrored orientation. A flipped identity photograph is misleading and may be rejected.
