The image is drawn on a canvas, then flipped using ctx.scale(). Horizontal flip mirrors left‑right, vertical flip mirrors top‑bottom. You can combine both. All processing stays in your browser.

A flip image tool is a simple utility that creates a mirror image of your original picture. Unlike rotating, which spins an image, flipping reverses it along an axis.
Horizontal Flip (Left-Right): This acts like a mirror. Text will read backward, and the left side of the image becomes the right side. It is essential for correcting front-camera selfies or preparing designs for heat transfers.
Vertical Flip (Top-Bottom): This turns the image upside down. The top of the image moves to the bottom. It’s often used to create reflections in water or for specific artistic effects.
Have you ever taken a photo with your phone’s front camera, only to find that text on your shirt is backward? Or perhaps you need to prepare a design for a mug that requires the image to be printed in reverse?
Opening heavyweight software like Photoshop for these simple one-click tasks is time-consuming and expensive. Our Flip Image tool solves this instantly. It’s free, works directly in your browser, and respects your privacy. There is no software to install and no images are uploaded to a server—everything stays on your device.
Flipping an image takes less than five seconds. Just follow these steps:
Upload: Click the upload area or drag and drop any image (JPG, PNG, WebP, etc.) into the tool.
Choose Your Flip:
Check “Flip horizontally” for a mirror image.
Check “Flip vertically” to turn it upside down.
Check both to rotate the image 180 degrees while also mirroring it.
Select Format (Optional): Choose your preferred output format (PNG for quality, JPEG for smaller files).
Download: Click the red “Download” button to save your new flipped image.
This tool uses the power of your own web browser to process the image. It’s a completely private, serverless operation.
Loading: When you upload an image, the tool reads it and displays a preview.
Drawing & Transforming: It then draws your image onto a virtual canvas. The tool applies a mathematical transformation, telling the canvas to reverse the pixels either horizontally (scale x by -1) or vertically (scale y by -1).
Exporting: Once flipped, the canvas exports the new image into the file format you selected (PNG, JPEG, etc.), ready for you to download.
Let’s say you have a simple image of a left-facing arrow (←).
Original Image: The arrow points left.
After Horizontal Flip: The arrow will point right (→). The entire image is mirrored.
After Vertical Flip: The arrow will be upside down, but still pointing left.
After Both Flips: The arrow will point right and be upside down.
100% Free: No hidden costs or subscriptions.
Privacy First: Your images are processed locally in your browser. They are never uploaded to our servers.
Multiple Formats: Download your flipped image as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or BMP.
Live Preview: See exactly what the result looks like before you download.
No Sign-Up Required: Use it instantly with no barriers.
Social Media Managers: Create mirrored graphics and correct selfie orientation.
E-commerce Sellers: Prepare product images or flip designs for merchandise (t-shirts, mugs).
Students & Educators: Create visual aids and simple graphic design projects.
Web Developers: Quickly generate mirrored assets for UI/UX mockups.
Casual Users: Anyone who needs to quickly flip a photo or image.
Confusing Flip and Rotate: Remember, flipping creates a mirror image. If you want to turn an image on its side, you need a “rotate” tool, not a “flip” tool.
Forgetting to Save: Always click the download button. The flipped image on the screen is just a preview.
Using Low Quality for Text: If your image contains small text, save it as a PNG. JPEG compression can make text blurry and hard to read.
This tool is designed for standard raster images (JPG, PNG, etc.). It cannot process animated GIFs (only the first frame will be flipped) or vector files like SVGs. For extremely high-resolution images (e.g., 8000x6000px), the preview may load slightly slower, but the download will still work correctly.
Rotating spins an image by a certain number of degrees (like 90° or 180°). Flipping, or mirroring, reverses the image along an axis. A horizontal flip makes the left side become the right side.
Absolutely. Your privacy is our priority. This tool processes your image entirely within your web browser. The file never leaves your device, ensuring your data remains 100% private and secure.
That is the intended effect of a horizontal mirror. If you are flipping a selfie taken with a front-facing camera to correct the orientation, you are doing the right thing. The preview will show you the exact result.
You can upload JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and WebP files. You can also download the flipped result as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or BMP.
This is a developer feature. It copies the flipped image as a very long text string (a Data URL) that web developers can use directly in their code (e.g., for HTML src attributes or CSS backgrounds).
