Image Flip Tool - Online Mirror & Rotate Picture

An image flip tool lets you mirror or rotate your pictures directly in your browser. Horizontal flip creates a mirror reflection left-to-right (like looking in a mirror), while vertical flip mirrors the image top-to-bottom (like a reflection in water). All processing happens locally on your device using HTML5 Canvas technology — your images never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Flipping creates a mirror image along an axis — horizontal flip swaps left and right, vertical flip swaps top and bottom. The image dimensions stay the same. Rotating turns the entire image around its center point — a 90° rotation changes the orientation and swaps width and height dimensions, while a 180° rotation keeps the same dimensions but inverts the image. Think of flipping as looking in a mirror, and rotating as turning a physical photo.

No. Flip operations (horizontal and vertical) and 180° rotation are lossless pixel-perfect transformations — every pixel is precisely mapped to its new position with no interpolation or quality degradation. For 90° rotations, pixels are also mapped exactly with no scaling involved. When you download the result as PNG, you get a lossless compressed image preserving full quality. The tool uses the original image resolution for all operations.

Absolutely not. This tool operates 100% client-side in your browser. All image processing is done locally using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your images are never transmitted, stored, or seen by any third party. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool will continue working perfectly — making it ideal for handling sensitive or private images.

The tool supports all common image formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG. For animated formats (animated GIF, animated WebP), only the first frame will be processed and output as a static image. Transparent PNGs retain their transparency after all flip and rotate operations. Downloaded images are saved in PNG format for maximum quality preservation.

Yes! All transformations are cumulative. You can flip horizontally, then rotate 90° clockwise, then flip vertically — each operation builds on the previous result. The Undo button lets you revert the last action, and the Reset button returns you to the original uploaded image. This gives you complete freedom to experiment with different combinations.

The tool is fully responsive and mobile-friendly. On your phone or tablet, tap the upload area to select an image from your gallery or take a new photo with your camera. All flip and rotate buttons are sized for comfortable touch interaction. The preview canvas automatically scales to fit your screen width. You can also use the share sheet on iOS or Android to send an image directly to this tool via your browser.
