A horizontal flip swaps left and right, exactly like holding the picture up to a mirror. The commonest reason to want one is a selfie: front cameras show you a mirrored preview, some phones save the photo that way, and the result can look subtly wrong, with a parting on the wrong side or a logo on your shirt reading backwards. A single flip puts it back the way other people see you. Photographers use the same move to make a subject face into a layout rather than out of it.
A flip changes nothing but the arrangement of the pixels: no resizing, no re-cropping, no colour shift, and the dimensions stay identical. The result is written into the image itself rather than stored as an orientation note, so it stays flipped wherever you upload it, including sites that ignore such metadata. This page is set up for the horizontal mirror, and the same tool offers a vertical flip and 90 and 180 degree rotations if a photo needs more than one correction.
The one thing to watch is text and asymmetry. A mirrored photo reverses signs, number plates, watch faces and the side a person wears a bag on, which is fine for a creative layout but not for evidence or documentation. The flip is done on your device and the image is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between flip and rotate?
- Rotating turns the image around its centre; flipping mirrors it, swapping left and right like a reflection.
- Can I flip vertically too?
- Yes — the tool offers both horizontal (left-right) and vertical (top-bottom) mirroring.
- Why does my mirrored selfie look wrong to me but right to everyone else?
- You are used to seeing your face in a mirror, so the un-mirrored version feels off, while other people see you un-mirrored every day. Neither is wrong; choose the one that matches how you want to be seen.
- Will the flip survive when I upload the image somewhere?
- Yes. The mirror is applied to the pixels themselves, not stored as a hint, so forms, websites and older programs that ignore orientation metadata still show the image the way you flipped it.
