Up to 30 images · 20 MB each · 16 megapixelsWhat a horizontal flip changes
A horizontal flip exchanges the left and right sides of every pixel. The top stays at the top, the image dimensions stay the same, and text appears reversed. It is the direction people usually mean when they ask to mirror a photo.
Use it to correct a front-camera selfie, check a composition from the opposite direction, or prepare artwork that must print in reverse. If your subject needs to move from top to bottom instead, choose Vertical in the tool.

A horizontal flip mirrors left and right
Horizontal flipping reflects an image across a vertical line through its center. It keeps the same width and height; a rotation turns the whole image instead.
