Frequently Asked Questions
Image flipping mirrors your photo along an axis, horizontal flipping swaps, left and right, while vertical flipping turns it upside down. It's a simple fix for reversed selfies, a quick way to make a subject face the opposite direction, or a handy trick when your design needs a symmetrical look. No complex editing skills needed.
Completely. Your image never leaves your browser, everything is processed locally using the Canvas API, so there's nothing being uploaded to any server. No account, no logs, no storage. It's especially useful if you're working with personal photos or screenshots that contain sensitive information you'd rather not send to the cloud.
Flipping mirrors the image, the content gets reversed left-to-right or top-to-bottom. Rotating spins it by a set angle (90°, 180°, 270°) without reversing anything. The easiest way to remember it: if you rotate a photo of text 180°, the words are upside down but still readable left-to-right. Flip it vertically and the words are both upside down and backwards. You can always combine both if you need a very specific orientation.
You won't lose any quality, flipping just, rearranges the pixel grid, so there's no compression or re-encoding happening. The one thing to watch: if you save the result as a JPEG, that format is lossy, so you'll see a slight quality dip regardless of how the flip was done. If that matters, save as PNG or WebP instead and your output will be pixel-perfect.
Fixing selfies is probably the most common one, front cameras capture, a mirror image of what you see on screen, so it can look off when posted. Designers use it to make a subject face into the frame instead of out of it, or to create a mirrored logo that reads correctly from both sides. It's also essential for heat transfer printing, where you need to flip the image before printing so the final result comes out the right way. Outside of that, it's just a handy everyday tool whenever something looks backwards.
The advanced download panel lets you resize for specific platforms, Instagram, Twitter, and a few others have built-in presets so you're not guessing dimensions. You can choose how the image fits: crop it, fill the space, or add letterboxing. Pixel art gets nearest-neighbor scaling to keep those edges crisp.
There's no enforced limit. Files under 50 MB will work smoothly on any device, and if you're working with large RAW or high-res files, desktop Chrome or Edge handles them the fastest.
