Up to 30 images · 20 MB each · 16 megapixelsWhat a vertical flip changes
A vertical flip reflects the image across a horizontal line: the top moves to the bottom and the bottom moves to the top. Left and right remain in their original positions, and the pixel dimensions do not change.
Use it to turn an upside-down reflection into the position you need or to build symmetrical top-and-bottom artwork. If you want a left-to-right mirror, switch to Horizontal; if you need a quarter-turn, use rotation instead.

Vertical flip or 180° rotation?
A vertical flip swaps top and bottom while leaving left and right in place. A 180° rotation changes both axes, so use the vertical control when only the top-to-bottom direction should change.

How do I turn a photo upside down?
Use Vertical. This reverses the top and bottom without changing the photo's width or height.

No. A vertical flip mirrors top and bottom; a 180-degree rotation also swaps left and right.
Can I flip a picture from top to bottom?
Yes. Select Vertical in the tool to reflect the picture across a horizontal axis.
Does vertical flipping change the image dimensions?
No. The image keeps the same pixel width and height; only the top-to-bottom orientation changes.
Can I flip a GIF vertically?
Yes. Animated GIF frames and timing are kept when the flipped result is encoded.
Can I flip an image upside down without uploading it?
Yes. The flip is processed in your browser, and the image file is not uploaded to our server.
