How to flip an image

It takes about three seconds, works on phones and desktops, and needs nothing installed.

  1. Add your image. Drag and drop it onto the tool, click Choose images, or paste it with Ctrl/⌘ + V. You can add up to 30 images at once.

  2. Pick a direction. Click Horizontal to mirror it left to right, Vertical to turn it upside down — or switch on both.

  3. Check the preview. The flipped result appears instantly. Press and hold Hold to see original to compare before and after.

  4. Download. Save in the original format, PNG, JPG or WebP. Flipping several images? Download them all in one ZIP.

Horizontal vs. vertical flip: see the difference

The same photo, flipped each way. A horizontal flip mirrors left and right; a vertical flip turns the picture upside down.

The same photo flipped horizontally — the sailboat and text are mirrored left to right
Flipped horizontally
The same photo flipped vertically — the sea is on top and the image is upside down
Flipped vertically
The same photo flipped both horizontally and vertically, equal to a 180 degree rotation

Flip an image horizontally

A horizontal flip mirrors your picture from left to right. Whatever was on the left side moves to the right, exactly like your reflection in a mirror. It is the most common kind of flip, and it is what most people mean when they say they want to “mirror” an image.

Use a horizontal flip when you want to:

  • Fix a mirrored selfie so text on your shirt or a sign in the background reads correctly.
  • Change which way a subject faces, for example so a person looks into the page instead of off its edge.
  • Balance a layout in a presentation, poster or website hero where the visual weight sits on the wrong side.
  • Prepare a print transfer, such as iron-on paper or sublimation, where the design must be printed in reverse.

Flip an image vertically

A vertical flip mirrors the image from top to bottom, so the picture ends up upside down. Unlike a rotation, the left and right sides stay where they are — only the top and bottom swap places.

Vertical flips are great for creating water and glass reflections, building symmetrical patterns, correcting a scan that came out upside down, or producing a playful, disorienting effect for social posts.

Flip, mirror or rotate — which one do you need?

These three words get mixed up all the time, so here is the quick version:

What you want Use this
A mirror image (text reads backwards) Horizontal flip
The picture upside down but not mirrored left to right Vertical flip
The picture turned upside down like a rotated photo Horizontal + vertical (same as rotating 180°)
The picture turned on its side Rotate 90° — that is not a flip

Why use FlipMyImage instead of a photo editor?

Desktop editors and big online design suites can flip images too, but they make you open a full editor, sign in, or upload your photo first. This image flipper does one job and does it fast:

  • Nothing is uploaded. Flipping happens inside your browser, so it is instant even on a slow connection and your photos stay private.
  • Exact pixels. The flip does not resize or resample your image, and PNG output is completely lossless.
  • Metadata stays behind. Exported files do not carry over hidden EXIF data such as GPS location, which makes them safer to share.
  • Works everywhere. Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android — with nothing to install.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image flipper really free?

Yes. FlipMyImage is completely free with no account, no daily limit and no watermark. You can flip as many images as you like.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Your images are flipped by your own browser on your own device. They are never uploaded, so nobody — including us — can see them. The tool even keeps working if you go offline after the page loads.

What is the difference between flipping horizontally and vertically?

A horizontal flip mirrors the image left to right, like looking in a mirror — text appears backwards. A vertical flip mirrors it top to bottom, so the image appears upside down. Doing both at once gives the same result as rotating the image 180 degrees.

Is flipping an image the same as rotating it?

No. Rotating turns the whole picture around its center while keeping it readable, whereas flipping creates a mirror image. Only flipping both horizontally and vertically matches a rotation, and that is exactly a 180-degree turn.

Does flipping an image reduce its quality?

The flip itself is pixel-exact and keeps the original resolution. If you save as PNG nothing is lost at all. JPG and WebP are compressed formats, so use the quality slider (92% by default) to balance file size and detail.

Which image formats can I flip?

You can flip JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF images, plus HEIC photos in browsers that support it (such as Safari). Results can be saved as PNG, JPG or WebP. Transparent PNG and WebP backgrounds are preserved.

Can I flip multiple images at once?

Yes. Add up to 30 images, choose the direction once, and click “Download all as ZIP” to get every flipped image in a single file.

How do I flip an image on my iPhone or Android phone?

Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap “Choose images” to pick a photo from your library, select Horizontal or Vertical, and tap Download. The flipped image is saved to your downloads or Files app.

Can I flip an animated GIF?

You can add GIFs, but the downloaded file is a still image of the first frame. For static images — photos, screenshots, logos and graphics — every format is fully supported.
