Flip Images
Flip images horizontally or vertically online for free. Mirror a photo left-right or top-bottom in your browser, no uploads, fully private, and instant.
About This Tool
Mirror an image horizontally or vertically in a single click. Flipping is useful for correcting a photo taken in a mirror, matching the direction of text or logos, or preparing an image for a design layout. Batch flip up to 50 images at once, all the same direction. Everything happens in your browser: your photos are never uploaded anywhere.
How To Use
- Drop your images into the upload zone or click to select files from your device.
- Choose horizontal (left-right) or vertical (top-bottom) flip direction.
- Click "Flip" and each image is mirrored in your browser.
- Download your flipped images individually or as a ZIP.
How It Works
Flipping draws the original image onto a canvas with a mirrored transform: a horizontal flip scales the canvas by -1 on the x-axis before drawing, and a vertical flip scales by -1 on the y-axis. The pixel data itself is not altered, only its position, so there is no quality loss of any kind.
The operation runs on an OffscreenCanvas inside a Web Worker, so flipping even a large batch of high-resolution photos does not freeze your browser. Each image keeps its original dimensions, format, and quality setting: a flipped JPEG stays a JPEG at the same quality, and a flipped PNG keeps its transparency intact.
Because this is a pure geometric transform with no re-encoding beyond the format's own compression, flipped images are visually identical to the original except for the mirrored orientation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does flipping reduce image quality?
No. Flipping only changes the position of pixels, not their values, so there is no quality loss beyond whatever re-encoding your chosen format normally applies. A PNG flip is fully lossless.
What's the difference between flip and rotate?
Flipping mirrors an image like a reflection: left becomes right, or top becomes bottom. Rotating turns the whole image around a point instead. Use our Rotate Image tool if you need to turn a sideways photo upright.
Can I flip multiple images at once?
Yes. Batch processing applies the same flip direction to every image you upload at once, up to 50 files per batch.
Will text or logos in my image also flip?
Yes, everything in the image mirrors together, including any text or logos, since flipping affects the whole image uniformly.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Flipping happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
