Flipping an image online is one of the most searched image editing tasks — and one of the easiest to do for free. Whether you want to mirror a photo, flip it upside down, reverse a selfie, or create a symmetrical effect, this guide shows you exactly how to do it in seconds without downloading any software.
What does "flipping" an image mean?
There are two types of flip. Horizontal flip (also called mirror image, flip left-right, or mirror flip) reflects the image along its vertical axis — the left side becomes the right side. Vertical flip reflects the image along its horizontal axis — turning it upside down.
People use many different terms for the same operation: flip image, mirror image, reverse image, flip horizontally, mirror flip, flip photo, flip picture — they all mean the same horizontal reflection.
