Which flip you actually want

Flipping mirrors the image. Rotating does not. The difference matters most with text and faces.

FlipWhat changesReach for it when
HorizontalLeft and right swapUn-mirroring a selfie, facing a subject toward your text, iron-on transfers
VerticalTop and bottom swapWater-reflection effects, fixing an upside-down scan
BothSame as a 180 degree rotationA full inversion that stays un-mirrored

If the photo is just sideways and you want text and faces to stay readable, you do not want a flip at all. Use the Rotate Image tool instead.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Flipping creates a mirror image: a left-right swap (horizontal) or a top-bottom swap (vertical), and text becomes reversed. Rotating turns the image around its center, so text stays readable, just at a different angle.

Yes. Click Flip Horizontal then Flip Vertical to apply both, which is equivalent to a 180 degree rotation: the content appears upside down but not mirrored.

No. The tool outputs a lossless PNG, so there is no quality loss from flipping. Your image quality is fully preserved.
