Flipping is not rotating

A horizontal flip swaps left and right, like a reflection in a mirror. A vertical flip swaps top and bottom. Neither is the same as a rotation: rotating by 180 degrees turns the picture upside down but does not reverse text, while a horizontal flip makes text read backwards.

Turning on both flips at once gives the same result as a 180 degree rotation. If that is what you want, the Rotate tool does it directly and handles several images at once.

When a mirror image is useful

Front camera selfies are sometimes saved mirrored. Flipping restores the way others actually see you, including the direction of any writing on clothes.
Layout: a portrait looking out of the page can be flipped so the subject faces the text.
Transfers and printing on fabric often need the design mirrored before printing.

Watch out for things that give a flip away: text, logos, clock faces, and side-specific details such as a wedding ring or a car's steering wheel.

Output

Formats: WebP (default), JPG or PNG. JPG and WebP are saved at quality 0.92; PNG is lossless.
Transparent areas stay transparent in WebP and PNG and become black in JPG.
The file name gets -flipped added, or you can type your own.
The image keeps its dimensions. EXIF data and colour profiles are not copied.

Where the processing happens

The flip is drawn on a canvas in your browser and saved from there. Nothing is uploaded.

Questions about this tool

Does flipping reduce quality?

The flip moves pixels without blending them. Saving as JPG or WebP re-encodes at quality 0.92, so choose PNG if you need it lossless.

My selfie is mirrored and the writing on my shirt is backwards. How do I fix it?

Turn on the horizontal flip and download. Left and right swap back, so the writing reads the right way, the way other people see you.

I need a mirrored design for an iron-on transfer. Can I do that here?

Yes. Flip the design horizontally and print the result. Check your transfer paper instructions, because most need the design mirrored but some do not.

What is the difference between flipping and rotating?

Flipping makes a mirror image, so text reads backwards. Rotating turns the picture without reversing it. Flipping both ways at once gives the same result as rotating by 180 degrees.

Can I name the downloaded file myself?

Yes. The tool suggests the original name with -flipped added, and you can type your own name instead.
