Flip Image

Use Horizontal when the left and right sides need to swap, such as a mirrored selfie. Use Vertical when the top and bottom need to swap. If a photo is simply sideways, use Rotate Image instead: mirroring would also reverse the subject. Applying both flips has the same orientation as a 180-degree rotation.

Select “Try it with a sample file”, then switch Horizontal on and off. Look at an off-centre feature in the preview: it should move to the opposite side. Enable Vertical to compare the top and bottom. Choose “Download flipped image” to prepare the result, then download it from the result screen. Inspect any text or logo before sharing; a horizontal mirror reverses lettering too.

PNG input is saved as PNG and retains transparent areas. JPG input is saved as JPG and is re-encoded, so this is not a lossless JPEG transformation. The pixel dimensions stay the same, but file size can change. The preview shows the orientation; free exports also include the Filevolo credit added during export. Keep the original if you may need to edit again.

If the subject becomes upside down, turn off Vertical and try Horizontal alone. If lettering is reversed, check whether the original was already mirrored. For a transparent logo, start with PNG rather than JPG. If a large image cannot be processed on your device, try a smaller copy; browser memory and canvas limits still apply even though the image stays on your device.

A horizontal flip creates a mirror image by reversing the picture from left to right - useful for selfies, design layouts, directional compositions and mirrored graphics. A vertical flip turns the picture across its horizontal axis instead.
