A selfie that came out reversed, a logo that needs to face the other way, a layout you want to mirror — all fixed in one click with a flip. And if you have a whole folder to mirror, you should not have to do them one at a time. This guide covers horizontal and vertical flips, losslessly and in bulk.

TL;DR — Use the flip image tool to mirror any photo horizontally or vertically, for one image or a whole batch. Lossless, free, and nothing is uploaded.

Horizontal or vertical: which flip do you need?

Is flipping lossless?

Yes. A flip simply reorders the pixels that are already there, so no quality is lost and nothing is re-rendered. You can flip an image as many times as you like and it stays exactly as sharp as the original. That is different from a free-angle rotation, which has to redraw the image and can soften it slightly.

Step by step: flip an image

  1. Open the flip image tool and drop in one or many photos.
  2. Choose a direction — horizontal, vertical, or both. The preview updates instantly.
  3. Apply it to the whole batch if you added several at once.
  4. Download one image or the lot as a zip. Nothing leaves your device.

Tip: A horizontal flip is the fastest fix for a selfie that looks “wrong” because front cameras mirror the preview. Flip it once and text in the shot reads the right way again.

Frequently asked questions

How do I flip an image horizontally?
Open the image in a flip tool and choose the horizontal option. It mirrors the photo left to right, then you download it. With a bulk tool you can apply the same flip to a whole folder at once.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
Flipping mirrors the image across an axis, so left becomes right or top becomes bottom. Rotating turns the whole image around its centre by an angle like 90 degrees. A flip changes handedness; a rotation does not.
Does flipping an image lose quality?
No. Flipping only reorders the existing pixels, so it is completely lossless. The mirrored image is exactly as sharp as the original.
Can I flip many images at once?
Yes. A bulk flip tool applies the same horizontal or vertical mirror to every image in your batch, then lets you download them all as a zip.
