How to mirror an image (flip horizontally or vertically)
Mirroring flips an image along an axis: horizontal flip fixes reversed selfies and backwards text; vertical flip creates reflections. Both take one click.
Steps
- Open the flip tool and drop in your image.
- Choose horizontal (left↔right) or vertical (top↕bottom) flip.
- Download the result — processed locally, original quality preserved.
Horizontal vs vertical
Horizontal flips are what most people mean by "mirror": front cameras record selfies mirrored, so text on clothing reads backwards until you flip it. Vertical flips are mainly for creative reflection effects and fixing scans loaded upside-down (combine with rotate for that).
