Key takeaways
- Flip Image mirrors a photo horizontally or vertically — different from rotating, which turns the image rather than mirroring it.
- Also includes a black-and-white conversion option.
- Common for correcting a selfie's mirrored text, or for a design that needs a mirrored version of the same image.
Flipping a photo
Open Flip Image, drop in your photo, choose horizontal or vertical flip (and black-and-white if you want it), and download.
Frequently asked questions
Why would text look backwards in a selfie?
Front-facing phone cameras often show a mirrored preview, so if the final saved photo isn't flipped back, any text in frame (on a shirt, a sign) reads backwards — this tool fixes that in one click.
What's the difference between flip and rotate?
Rotating turns the whole image around a point; flipping mirrors it across an axis — a rotated 'R' still reads as an R turned sideways, a flipped 'R' reads backwards. Use [Rotate Image](/rotate-image) if you need the first instead.
