Flip Images Horizontally or Vertically
Image flipping is a simple yet powerful editing technique that creates mirror images. Whether you need to correct a reversed photo, create symmetrical designs, or achieve specific visual effects, our online image flipper makes it easy to flip images horizontally or vertically with just one click.
Horizontal vs Vertical Flipping
- Horizontal Flip: Creates a mirror image along the vertical axis (left becomes right)
- Vertical Flip: Creates a mirror image along the horizontal axis (top becomes bottom)
- Both: Combining both flips rotates the image 180 degrees
Common Use Cases
- Photo Correction: Fix selfies taken with front-facing cameras
- Design Symmetry: Create symmetrical designs and patterns
- Text Correction: Fix reversed text in images
- Artistic Effects: Create interesting visual compositions
- Logo Design: Test different orientations for logos
- Social Media: Create variations of images for posts
When to Use Each Type
- Horizontal Flip: Most common, fixes selfie mirroring, creates left-right symmetry
- Vertical Flip: Less common, creates top-bottom symmetry, artistic effects
Best Practices
- Check text in images - flipping reverses text direction
- Consider logos and symbols - some should not be flipped
- Save original images before flipping
- Use lossless formats when possible
- Test flipped images in context before finalizing
