Flipping versus rotating, and when each applies
Horizontal or vertical
Mirror left-to-right for a reflection, or top-to-bottom for a flip. One control gives an instant result, so you can try both directions and keep whichever reads correctly before you export anything.
Pixel-perfect mirror
The flip is a lossless transform. The mirrored image is identical to the original, just reversed, so no quality is lost and no detail is softened. Every pixel simply moves to its mirrored position on the opposite side.
Keeps transparency
Flip a transparent PNG and it stays transparent, ready to drop anywhere. The alpha channel is mirrored right along with the color pixels, so a see-through logo keeps its clean edges after the flip.
How flipping works
The image is redrawn onto a canvas of the same size with one axis reversed, which is why it is instant and lossless. It runs in your browser on that canvas, so your file never gets uploaded and the preview appears right away.
Horizontal vs vertical
A horizontal flip swaps left and right, which is what un-mirrors a selfie or reverses the direction something faces. A vertical flip swaps top and bottom, which is ideal for building a reflection beneath an object. Pick the axis that matches your goal.
How to flip or mirror an image
Upload your image
Drop in a PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG, or click to browse for a file on your device.
Choose the axis
Pick horizontal for a left-right mirror or vertical for a top-bottom flip. The mirrored result appears immediately.
Preview and download
Confirm the flipped result looks right, then download it at full resolution using one credit on a free account.
Where a mirrored image helps
Face selfies forward
Un-mirror a selfie so text and faces read the right way around.
Symmetry and layouts
Mirror an element to balance a composition or build a symmetrical design.
Reflections
Create a mirrored copy for water, glass, or shadow effects.
Direction fixes
Point an arrow, animal, or vehicle the other way in a single click.
Or just ask
Describe the edit in your own words
Type what you want changed and the assistant does it on the canvas — each step lands as a layer you can reopen, so nothing it does is baked in.
