How to Flip or Mirror an Image
Vizua is a free online tool to flip images horizontally or vertically — right in your browser. Drop your photo, choose the flip direction, and download the mirrored result. No upload, no software, no account required.
Use Horizontal to create a left-right mirror image (like looking in a mirror) or Vertical to flip top-to-bottom. The most common use is horizontal flipping — perfect for un-mirroring selfies, creating design symmetry, or correcting scanned images.
Why Flip Images?
- Un-mirror selfies — front cameras mirror your image; flip horizontally to see how others actually see you
- Fix scanned documents — scanned pages sometimes come out mirrored and need to be flipped back
- Design and composition — flip elements to create symmetry, balance layouts, or match a design template
- Product photography — mirror product images to create consistent left/right-facing catalogs
- Print transfers — iron-on transfers and screen printing often require mirror images
Horizontal vs Vertical Flip
A horizontal flip swaps left and right — imagine a mirror placed at the center of the image vertically. Text becomes reversed, and people appear to look in the opposite direction. This is by far the most used flip direction.
A vertical flip swaps top and bottom — like flipping a photo upside down while keeping left and right unchanged. This is useful for correcting upside-down scans or creating reflection effects (like a lake reflecting a landscape).
Lossless Flip Processing
Flipping an image simply rearranges pixels — no quality degradation. Each pixel moves to its mirrored position with perfect precision. For PNG and WebP, the process is entirely lossless. For JPEG, there is only a negligible quality difference, invisible to the human eye.
100% Private — No Upload
Your images never leave your device. Vizua flips images locally in your browser — zero network requests, zero server-side processing. Whether it's a personal selfie, a confidential document, or a client's product photo, your files remain completely private. The tool works offline after the page loads.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I flip or mirror an image?
Drop your image into Vizua, select Horizontal (left-right mirror) or Vertical (top-bottom mirror), and click Download. The flip is instant and runs entirely in your browser — no upload needed.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical flip?
A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right, like looking in a mirror. A vertical flip mirrors the image top-to-bottom, like flipping it upside down. Horizontal flip is the most common — it's what you need to "un-mirror" selfies or create mirror-image effects.
How do I un-mirror a selfie?
Front-facing cameras mirror your image by default so it looks natural while you're taking the photo. To see how others see you, use Vizua's horizontal flip. Drop your selfie, select Horizontal, and download — the text in the background will now read correctly and your image matches reality.
Does flipping an image reduce quality?
No. Flipping simply moves each pixel to its mirrored position — no quality is lost in the process. For JPEG images, the quality difference is imperceptible.
Can I flip multiple images at once?
Yes. Drop several images into Vizua — they're all processed with the same flip direction. Download each individually or grab everything as a ZIP archive. Useful for mirroring a batch of product photos or creating symmetrical design assets.
