Flip an image horizontally or vertically in your browser. A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right — useful for facing a subject the other way or creating a mirror effect — while a vertical flip turns it upside down.
Flip vs rotate
Flipping mirrors an image across an axis, while rotating turns it around its centre. A horizontal flip is a left-to-right mirror — useful for making a subject face the other way — and a vertical flip turns it upside down. They are different operations, so if you want a turn rather than a mirror, use the rotate tool.
No quality loss
Flipping only rearranges the existing pixels, so the result is identical in quality to the original. It happens in your browser, and nothing is uploaded.
