About This Tool
Flip Image Horizontal swaps the left and right sides for a mirrored composition or a different subject direction. Top and bottom stay in place. Text is also mirrored.
How to Use
- Choose or drop an image and check its orientation, file size, and pixel dimensions.
- Choose the output format and adjust quality or the background color where available.
- Click “Apply changes” to compare the original and result, including actual pixel dimensions and file size.
- Download when you are satisfied. “Reset settings” restores the default effect; “Clear” removes the files and results.
Settings explained
- This tool always mirrors left to right. No rotation angle is needed.
- Choose the output format. JPG/WebP allow quality adjustments; JPG also offers a background color for transparent areas.
Supported Formats
- Input: JPG/JPEG, PNG, or static WebP. GIF, animated PNG, and animated WebP are not supported.
- Output: JPG, PNG, or WebP if supported by your browser. Most edits keep the input format by default; opacity and rounded-corner tools default to PNG.
Image Processing Notes
Changes apply to the full original image and keep its loaded pixel width and height by default. The preview may appear smaller; the downloaded file contains the full processed image.
- A horizontal flip swaps left and right without swapping top and bottom. Output dimensions stay the same.
- A horizontal flip differs from a 180° rotation, which reverses both left/right and top/bottom.
- PNG and WebP support transparency. JPG blends transparent areas with your chosen background color, which is white by default. The preview’s checkerboard is not included in the download.
- Downloads contain the full processed image. Saving again can change file size and compression details, and usually removes original EXIF, GPS, and similar information. Keep your original file.
Each image can be up to 100 MiB. Files over 50 MiB trigger a high-memory-use notice. Original and output images are limited to 16 megapixels, with each dimension no greater than 16,384 pixels. Some operations have lower limits; resize the image first if prompted.

FAQ
How do horizontal and vertical flips differ?
A horizontal flip swaps left and right; a vertical flip swaps top and bottom. Neither alone is a 180° rotation.
Can a horizontal flip fix an upside-down image?
No. A horizontal flip does not change top and bottom. An upside-down image usually needs a 180° rotation or, depending on the desired result, a vertical flip.
Will text be reversed too?
Yes. The horizontal mirror effect applies to the entire image, including text, logos, and other content.
Will the download keep the original dimensions?
The tool preserves the loaded image’s pixel dimensions. A smaller preview does not make the download smaller. Output format and quality can still affect file size and detail.
