Image flipper
Horizontal flip creates a mirror image (useful for fixing selfies or scan direction). Vertical flip turns the image upside down. Both operations rewrite pixels locally — handy for design mockups, print prep, and correcting scanner output.
How to flip an image
1. Upload your image.
2. Choose horizontal flip (mirror) or vertical flip.
3. Confirm the preview looks correct — text will read backward on horizontal flip.
4. Download the flipped file.
Flip examples
Mirror product photo
Flip a bottle label so it faces the text block on a landing page mockup.
Correct scanned film strip
Some scanners invert vertical order — flip vertically before stitching panoramas.
Symmetry check for design
Designers flip logos horizontally to spot uneven kerning or icon weight.
When to flip images
• When layout needs a mirrored asset without redrawing.
• When fixing scanner or camera orientation issues.
• When testing visual balance in UI design.
Mirror effects in design
Flipping is faster than redrawing for mockups. Remember that shadows and lighting look wrong on flipped product photos — use only when realism is not critical.
Frequently asked questions
What is horizontal vs vertical flip?
Horizontal mirrors left-right (like a bathroom mirror). Vertical mirrors top-bottom (upside down).
Does flipping affect file size?
Dimensions stay the same; encoded size may change slightly after recompression.
Will flipping twice restore the original?
Yes — two flips on the same axis return to the starting orientation (JPEG may add tiny artifacts).
Can I flip then rotate?
Yes — combine with the image rotator for full orientation control.
Local processing?
Yes — no server upload.
