2

Choose horizontal or vertical

Horizontal mirrors left to right, the selfie mirror everyone knows. Vertical mirrors top to bottom, which reads as an upside-down reflection. Pick the one you want.

The two directions

Horizontal versus vertical, and when to use each

Horizontal mirrors the image left to right. This is the one people reach for most: it turns a front-camera selfie back into the mirror view you are used to, and it flips the direction a subject is facing so they look the other way.

Vertical mirrors top to bottom, turning the image into an upside-down reflection of itself. It is less common, useful mainly for creating reflection effects or correcting an image that was scanned or captured flipped.

Honest limits

What this tool will not do

It reverses text and logos

A mirror turns any writing backwards. If your photo contains a sign, a logo or a licence plate you need readable, flipping will make it unreadable. That is what mirroring does, not a fault.

It is not rotation

Flipping mirrors the image; it does not turn it. If a photo is sideways or upside down, you want the Rotate tool, which keeps text readable.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Flipping creates a mirror image: left becomes right (horizontal) or top becomes bottom (vertical). Rotating turns the image around its centre in 90 degree steps. Text flipped horizontally becomes reversed and unreadable; text rotated 90 degrees stays readable, just sideways.

Front cameras show a mirrored preview so you see yourself as in a mirror. The saved photo is the non-mirrored version, which can look unfamiliar. A horizontal flip converts it back to the mirrored look you are used to.

Yes. Drop in a whole batch and every photo is mirrored the same way, then download them individually or all together as a ZIP.

The mirror itself just rearranges pixels, so nothing visible is lost. The output keeps your original format; add a Convert step and pick PNG if you want a guaranteed lossless file.

No. All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

Yes. Add a Rotate step next to the Flip step and both run together on one upload, in the order of the chips.
