What is this tool?
Flip Image lets you reverse an image horizontally or vertically in the browser. A horizontal flip swaps the left and right sides, while a vertical flip turns the top and bottom around. This is useful for correcting camera previews, preparing design references, matching composition direction, or creating a reflected version of a visual.
Many phone cameras and webcam apps show mirrored previews, which can make text, logos, or objects look backwards after export. This tool helps fix that without a complex editor. It can also be used creatively for layouts, thumbnails, product comparisons, and before-and-after visuals.
Flipping does not crop or stretch the image. It keeps the same pixel dimensions and creates a new exported file with the reversed orientation. If the image contains text, check the preview carefully so the final version is readable.

Limitations to know
- Browser canvas export can slightly change compression, metadata, color handling, or file size compared with the source.
- Advanced professional editing features such as layered design, raw photo editing, and AI restoration are outside this tool's current scope.
- Very large images can require more device memory and may process more slowly on phones or older computers.
- The exported file is a new browser-generated copy, so you should keep your original file if you may need to edit it again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between flip and rotate?+
Flip reverses the image across an axis. Rotate turns the image by an angle such as 90 or 180 degrees.
Will flipping stretch the image?+
No. Flipping reverses the pixels while keeping the same width and height.
Can I fix backwards text?+
Yes. A horizontal flip can correct mirrored text from selfies, webcams, or camera previews.
Does vertical flip turn the image upside down?+
Vertical flip reverses top and bottom. It is different from a 180-degree rotation because left and right are not swapped the same way.
