Horizontal vs Vertical Flip — When to Use Each
Horizontal flip (mirror image): - Selfies taken on front cameras look mirrored — flip horizontally to match how others see you - Create symmetrical compositions for design - Correct scanned images where text appears reversed - Product photos showing left-hand vs right-hand orientation
Vertical flip (upside-down): - Correct images accidentally captured upside-down - Create reflection effects (flip + place below original) - Correct scanning where the page was loaded wrong
Pro Tips

Combine flip + Add Text to Image for creating reflection-style social media graphics — flip the image, place below the original, add a gradient fade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between flipping and rotating an image?
Flipping creates a mirror image (reflection). Rotating turns the image by a set angle (90°, 180°, etc.) without mirroring.
Does flipping an image affect its quality?
No. Flipping only changes pixel positions — no compression or re-encoding occurs.
Can I flip multiple images at once?
Yes. Upload up to 20 images and flip them all in one batch.
