A mirror image is a left-to-right reflection, like looking into a mirror. Uploading is unnecessary here: choose a file or paste one, and the reflection is made in your browser. Drag the comparison slider to inspect the change before saving.
Mirroring reverses visible text and logos too, so check any lettering before you download. For an upside-down effect, select Vertical instead. Both applies a left-right and top-bottom flip together.
How to flip an image in 3 steps

Drop a file, paste from your clipboard, or browse on your device.

Formats and limits, clearly stated
Mirror a JPG, PNG, WebP, or animated GIF, or start with HEIC, AVIF, BMP, or TIFF. Each image can be up to 20 MB and 16 megapixels; unsupported output formats are converted to PNG, while GIF animation is retained.
Your images never leave your device
Mirroring happens on your device: the image is read for the edit, then the preview and download are generated in your browser. Your photo is not uploaded or stored in an account.

Flip, mirror, or rotate?
A horizontal flip is a mirror image: left and right trade places. A vertical flip swaps top and bottom. Both together equal a 180° rotation. To turn a portrait photo into landscape, you need a 90° rotation; flipping alone cannot do that.
| Operation | What changes | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal flip / mirror | Left and right swap | Selfies, reflected text |
| Vertical flip | Top and bottom swap | Upside-down reflections |
| Both directions | Left-right and top-bottom swap | 180° visual turn |
| Rotate 90° | Width and height exchange | Portrait to landscape |
