About Flipping
Flip images horizontally, vertically, or rotate them 90° or 180°. All processing done in-browser.
Privacy & Security
All image flipping and rotation happens entirely in your browser using Canvas API. No images are uploaded to servers, stored in databases, or transmitted anywhere. Your photos remain completely private and secure on your device.
About This Image Flipper
Flip and rotate images with perfect precision using our Canvas-based image transformation tool. Whether you're correcting photo orientation, creating mirror effects, fixing upside-down images, or preparing graphics for design projects, this tool provides instant flipping and rotation with real-time preview. Flip horizontally (left-to-right mirror), vertically (top-to-bottom mirror), or combine both. Rotate by precise 90-degree increments (90°, 180°, 270°) to fix camera orientation issues or create specific layouts. The intuitive interface shows instant previews, supports batch processing for multiple images, and exports as high-quality PNG or JPEG.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between flip and rotate?
Flipping creates a mirror image by reversing pixels along an axis—horizontal flip mirrors left-to-right, vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom. Rotating turns the entire image by degrees (90°, 180°, 270°) without mirroring. Flip a photo of text and it becomes unreadable; rotate it 90° and it's sideways but still readable.
Will flipping reduce image quality?
No! Flipping and 90-degree rotations are lossless transformations—they simply rearrange pixels without changing them. If you export as JPEG, compression may reduce quality, but the flip/rotate operation itself is perfect. Use PNG export for guaranteed lossless results.
Why do some photos appear sideways when uploaded?
Cameras save orientation data in EXIF metadata instead of physically rotating pixels. Some software ignores this metadata, displaying images incorrectly. Our tool can automatically detect and apply EXIF orientation corrections, or you can manually rotate to fix the display.
Can I combine flip and rotate operations?
Absolutely! You can flip horizontally, then rotate 90°, then flip vertically—any combination you need. Each transformation is applied in sequence to the previous result. The preview updates instantly, so you can experiment to get exactly the orientation you want.
How do I create a mirror image?
Use horizontal flip (flip left-to-right) to create a mirror image. This is perfect for selfies if you want them to match how you see yourself in mirrors, or for creating symmetric designs. Vertical flip (flip top-to-bottom) creates an upside-down mirror.
What's the difference between 90° clockwise and counter-clockwise?
90° clockwise turns the image to the right (top moves to right side). 270° clockwise (or 90° counter-clockwise) turns left (top moves to left side). 180° rotation flips the image completely upside-down and backwards. Choose based on your starting orientation.
Can I rotate by custom angles like 45 degrees?
Yes! While the quick buttons offer 90° increments (the most common need), you can enter any degree value in the custom rotation field for precise angles. Note that non-90° rotations may require cropping or create blank corners, while 90° increments preserve the entire image.
Does batch mode apply the same transformation to all images?
Yes! Upload multiple images, choose your transformations (flip horizontal, rotate 90°, etc.), and the tool applies identical operations to every image. Perfect for fixing a batch of sideways photos or creating consistent mirror effects across multiple graphics.
Common Use Cases
