How to Flip an Image Vertically (Free, Top-to-Bottom)

Flipping vertically mirrors an image top-to-bottom — great for reflections and fixes. Here's how, free.

Flipping an image vertically mirrors it top-to-bottom — like a reflection in water. It's different from rotating 180°, and it's handy for reflection effects, correcting a scanned/mirrored image, or creative compositions. Here's how to flip an image vertically, free.

Vertical flip vs. rotate 180°

A vertical flip reflects the image across a horizontal axis — top and bottom swap, but left/right stay put. A 180° rotation turns everything upside down *and* left-right. They look different: text stays left-to-right after a vertical flip but is mirrored top-to-bottom.

When to use it

Reflection effects — flip a copy to make a mirrored "water" reflection. Fixing mirrored scans — some scanners flip images. Creative layouts — symmetry and kaleidoscope looks. Matching orientation — flip one image to mirror another.

Vertical or horizontal?

Use vertical to swap top and bottom (reflections in water). Use horizontal (mirror) to swap left and right (fixing selfies, facing a subject the other way). Pick whichever axis matches the effect you want.

No — a vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom only; 180° rotation flips both axes.

Horizontal swaps left/right (mirror); vertical swaps top/bottom (reflection).

Key takeaways

A vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom (unlike a 180° rotate) — perfect for reflections and fixing mirrored scans. Free at sjpt.io. Flip Image Free →
