How to Flip or Mirror an Image for Free

Mirroring an image sounds simple, but it's genuinely useful — for selfies, symmetry, and fixing reversed text. Here's how to do it free.

Flipping an image mirrors it left-to-right or top-to-bottom. It's a small operation with a surprising number of uses, and like rotating, it's lossless — your photo keeps its full quality.

When you'd flip an image

Selfies are the big one: front cameras often mirror you, so text on your shirt reads backwards — a horizontal flip fixes it. Flipping is also used for reflection effects, for matching the direction a subject faces in a layout, and for correcting scanned pages that came out reversed.

Horizontal vs vertical

A horizontal flip swaps left and right (the mirror-selfie fix). A vertical flip swaps top and bottom, which is more of a creative or reflection effect. You can combine a flip with a rotation for any orientation you need.
