Flip Image

Flip an image left to right, top to bottom, or both

This tool mirrors a picture in your browser, horizontally, vertically, or in both directions at once. Pick a direction, choose your output format and quality, and download the mirrored copy. Whole batches flip together and come back in one ZIP file. Nothing is uploaded, and your original file is never touched.

A horizontal flip swaps left and right, the way a mirror does. A vertical flip swaps top and bottom, the way a still pond reflects a scene. Applying both is the same as turning the picture 180 degrees, reached from the mirror side.

How to flip an image

1. Drop your picture into the box above, or add a batch of files at once.
2. Choose the direction: horizontal for a mirror copy, vertical for a top-to-bottom mirror, or both.
3. Pick the output format. Keep the source format, or save as JPG or PNG.
4. Set the quality if you chose JPG. Ninety suits most photos and keeps the file close to the original size.
5. Download each flipped file on its own, or take the batch as one ZIP.

When a mirror copy is the right copy

The most common job is the selfie. Front cameras show you a mirrored preview while you pose, then save the photo unmirrored, which is why a saved selfie can look subtly unlike the face you saw on screen. Flipping it horizontally gives back the version you recognize. The same fix applies to webcam stills and video call screenshots.

Print work is the second regular job. Iron-on transfers, window decals and some stencil methods need the artwork reversed so it reads correctly once applied. Designers flip images to test a layout in the other direction, and a flipped copy of a photo can sit better in a page design when the subject should face into the text instead of off the page. If the picture also needs turning rather than mirroring, the rotate image tool handles quarter turns and fine angles. Both tools are part of the image tools set.

Read this before you flip a document

One warning earns its own section. Mirrored text reads backwards, and it catches people out every day. Flip a scanned letter, a certificate, a product label or a shop sign and every word in it reverses. The flipped file is a faithful mirror, which is exactly the problem when words are involved. Check for text, logos with lettering, license plates and clocks before you flip, and keep your unflipped original stored somewhere safe.

The quality side is plain. Mirroring moves pixels without resampling them, so the flip itself costs nothing. The save is where a small cost can appear: writing the result as a JPG re-encodes the picture, like any JPG save, and repeated saves add up. Save as PNG when the mirrored copy has to stay pixel-exact, for example artwork headed to a printer.

Your files stay on your device

The mirroring happens in this browser tab. Your pictures are never uploaded, never stored on a server and never seen by anyone at ToolPeko. Close the tab and the work is gone. There is no account, no daily limit and no watermark on anything you download.
