Mirror images the easy way
Front-camera selfies often come out mirrored, so text on a T-shirt or a sign reads backwards. A horizontal flip fixes that. Designers also mirror images to balance a layout or to make two photos face each other.
Flip horizontally, vertically, or both, and combine with a rotation if needed. The result keeps the full resolution and original format of your file.

Lossless for PNG
Flipping doesn't resample pixels, so nothing gets blurry.
Common uses
- Selfies with backwards text: Make writing in front-camera photos readable again.
- Design layouts: Point a person or product towards the centre of a page.
- Reflections and art: Create symmetrical and kaleidoscope effects.
Tips and good to know
- Flipping both horizontally and vertically is the same as rotating 180°.
- To combine two images side by side (for example an original and its mirror), use the Image Merger.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between flipping and rotating?
Flipping creates a mirror image (left becomes right). Rotating turns the whole picture around its centre without mirroring it.
Why are my selfies mirrored?
Many phones show and sometimes save front-camera photos mirrored, like a bathroom mirror. A horizontal flip restores the real-world view.
Does flipping reduce image quality?
No — the pixels are only rearranged.
