What is the difference between flipping horizontally and vertically?

Flipping an image horizontally creates a mirror image — left becomes right and right becomes left, as if the image was reflected in a vertical mirror. Flipping vertically turns the image upside-down — top becomes bottom and bottom becomes top, as if reflected in a horizontal mirror.

How do I flip an image online for free?

Upload your image using the upload button or drag-and-drop area above, then click 'Flip Horizontal' or 'Flip Vertical'. The flipped image preview appears instantly. Download the result as a PNG or JPG to your device.

Does flipping an image affect its quality?

No. Our image flipper uses canvas-based processing that preserves the original resolution and quality of your image. The flipped output is identical in dimensions and quality to the original — only the orientation changes.

What image formats does the flipper support?

The image flipper supports all common web image formats including JPEG (JPG), PNG, GIF (static frames), WebP, and BMP. Upload any of these and download the flipped result in your preferred format.

Can I flip a selfie to see how I look to others?

Yes! Selfie cameras typically show a mirrored preview. To see how you appear to other people (un-mirrored), flip your selfie horizontally using this tool. This is especially useful for profile photos, presentations, and video thumbnails.

Is my image uploaded to a server when I flip it?

No. All image processing happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded to any server. It stays completely private on your device, making this tool safe for personal and professional photos.
