Fix mirrored selfies
Front cameras often save selfies as a mirror image, so text on your shirt or a sign behind you reads backwards. A horizontal flip turns it the right way round in a second.
Creative uses
Designers flip images to make a subject face into a page instead of off the edge, to build symmetric patterns, or to create a reflection effect for a product shot. A vertical flip is handy for water reflections and for preparing images for transfer printing, such as iron-on designs.
Clean, lossless results
Flipping simply swaps pixel positions, so the picture stays exactly as sharp as before. Save it in the original format or switch to JPG, PNG or WebP as needed.
Nothing leaves your device
As with every tool here, the flip is done locally in your browser. Your image is never uploaded, which makes it safe for personal photos and client artwork.
Flip for printing and crafts
Iron-on transfers, T-shirt printing and some screen printing methods need the design mirrored before printing, so it appears the right way round on the fabric. Flip the artwork horizontally here, save it as PNG to keep sharp edges and any transparency, and send that file to your printer.
Which flip should I use?
A horizontal flip swaps left and right, like looking in a mirror. A vertical flip swaps top and bottom, like a reflection in still water. Doing both at once gives the same result as rotating by 180 degrees, which is a useful check if you are unsure what you need.
Flip photos for design layouts
In layouts, a person or product facing the text guides the reader's eye into the page. If your photo faces the wrong way, flip it horizontally. Check for logos or writing in the photo first.
Flip text and documents
Flipping a photo that contains text makes the text read backwards, which is useful for mirror writing and transfer printing but not for normal use. If a scanned document appears mirrored, flip it horizontally once here to fix it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between flip and rotate?
Flipping mirrors the image; rotating turns it around its center. A vertical flip is not the same as a 180 degree rotation.
Does flipping lose quality?
No. Pixels are only rearranged.
Can I flip both ways?
Yes. Tap both buttons to flip horizontally and vertically.
Do I need an account?
No sign-up is needed.
How do I mirror a photo for an iron-on transfer?
Tap Flip horizontal, choose PNG and download. Print the mirrored file onto the transfer paper.
Can I flip a picture on my phone?
Yes, open the page in any mobile browser.
