Frequently Asked Questions

How to mirror a selfie so text reads correctly

Front-camera selfies are often mirrored, making text on signs, shirts, or whiteboards appear backwards. Upload the photo and click Flip Horizontal — the image mirrors left-to-right so text reads the right way. Download as PNG or JPG.

What is the difference between flipping horizontally and vertically?

Flipping horizontally mirrors the image across a vertical axis (left becomes right) — the most common flip, used to reverse selfies. Flipping vertically mirrors it across a horizontal axis (top becomes bottom), producing an upside-down reflection.

Does flipping reduce image quality?

No. Flipping only rearranges existing pixels — there is no re-compression, so quality is identical to the original. PNG exports are lossless.

How to flip an image for a design or print layout

Upload your image and click Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical depending on the mirror direction your layout needs. The result keeps the original resolution and can be downloaded as PNG (with transparency), JPG, or WebP.

Can I flip an image on my phone without an app?

Yes. This tool runs entirely in your mobile browser — no app download needed. Upload from your camera roll, flip, and save directly to your device.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All flipping happens locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

What formats can I use?

You can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, and BMP. Export as PNG (lossless, keeps transparency), JPG, or WebP.

How Image Flipping Works

Image flipping creates a mirror reflection of your photo along either the horizontal or vertical axis. A horizontal flip reverses the image left-to-right, producing the same effect as looking in a mirror. A vertical flip turns the image upside down by reversing it top-to-bottom. Unlike rotation, flipping preserves the exact dimensions of your original image while changing the orientation of its contents.

Flipping is one of the most fundamental image transformations in digital photography and graphic design. Front-facing camera photos often appear reversed compared to how others see you, and a simple horizontal flip corrects this. Designers frequently use flipping to create symmetrical compositions, reflection effects, and balanced visual layouts. The transformation is lossless when applied to the raw pixel data, meaning no image quality is lost during the process.
