Flip Image

Mirror it, turn it, or straighten a crooked horizon — then download it.

Nothing is uploaded. The picture is flipped by your own browser.

🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.

Flip a picture left-to-right or top-to-bottom, turn it a quarter at a time, or nudge a crooked horizon back to level with the straighten slider. The preview updates as you go, and the file you download is the picture itself — not a screenshot of the preview.

Also on Txtset: trim it down to the part you want · save it as a different format.

Nothing is uploaded. Your browser decodes the file, the flip happens on a canvas on your device, and the result is saved straight to your downloads. There is no server, no account, no watermark and no queue.

Mirroring is the operation people most often come here for, and it is worth knowing why it is not the same as rotating. A horizontal flip produces the reflection you see in a mirror — text reads backwards, a parting moves to the other side of a head, a left hand becomes a right one. Turning the picture 180° instead keeps everything the right way round but upside down. If the picture came out of a camera on its side, rotating is what you want; if you want the mirror image, flip.

Straightening is the third thing, and it is the one that changes the canvas. Rotating by a few degrees sweeps the corners of the picture outside its old rectangle, so the output has to grow to hold them — the newly exposed corners are filled with the colour you pick, and the size readout tells you exactly how much the canvas grew. Most people follow a straighten with a crop; the crop tool takes it from there.

How to use

  1. Drop a picture on the box, click to choose one, or paste a screenshot straight from the clipboard.
  2. Press Flip horizontal for a mirror image, or Flip vertical to turn it upside down without mirroring.
  3. Use Rotate left, Rotate right or 180° for quarter turns — each one is applied to the real pixels, not just the view.
  4. Drag the straighten slider if the horizon is crooked. Pick what the exposed corners should be filled with.
  5. Choose PNG, JPEG or WebP and download. Undo every change puts the picture back the way it arrived.

Examples

A selfie that reads backwards
Front cameras mirror what they see, so text on a T-shirt comes out reversed. One horizontal flip puts it right.
A photo shot in portrait
Rotate right, download, and the picture is upright in every app — not just in the ones that read the orientation tag.
A crooked skyline
Straighten by a degree or two, fill the corners with white, then crop the edges off for a level photo.

Frequently asked questions

Is my picture uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no server behind this page. The file is decoded by your browser, flipped on a canvas on your own device, and saved locally. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
Flipping reflects the picture, so it becomes its own mirror image and any text in it reads backwards. Rotating turns it without reflecting, so text stays readable. Flipping vertically and rotating 180° look similar at a glance but are not the same: the 180° turn is what you want for an upside-down photo.
Does flipping lose any quality?
A flip or a quarter turn does not — those just move existing pixels around. Straightening by an arbitrary angle resamples the picture, which softens it very slightly, and saving as JPEG or WebP re-encodes it. Save as PNG and nothing at all is lost.
Why did the picture get bigger when I straightened it?
Because a rotated rectangle does not fit inside its old rectangle — the corners stick out. Rather than cutting them off, the canvas grows to hold the whole picture and the new corners are filled with the colour you chose. The size readout shows both numbers.
Will my phone photo come out sideways?
No. The EXIF orientation tag is read and applied to the pixels the moment the picture loads, so what you see here is what everyone else will see. Not doing that is the usual reason a flipped phone photo ends up rotated.
Does it remove the photo’s metadata?
Yes. Redrawing the picture onto a canvas strips EXIF entirely, including the GPS coordinates your phone writes into every shot. The file you share carries no location.
Can I flip several pictures at once?
Not on this page — it works on one picture at a time so the preview can show you exactly what you are getting. For several pictures in one file, the collage maker lays them out together.
Why is the WebP option sometimes ignored?
Because not every browser can really encode WebP, and some answer a request for it with a PNG and no error whatsoever. The page checks what actually came back and names the file after the format it truly is, rather than handing you a .webp full of PNG bytes.
