Flip an image

About this tool

Mirror a supported image horizontally or vertically and export a new PNG.

Supported input

PNG, JPG, WebP

Output format

PNG

Batch size

Up to 5 files; format and combined limits below still apply.

How it works

1. Add PNG / JPG / static WebP files in Input. Review each thumbnail and its validation status.
2. Choose horizontal or vertical mirroring for the selected files.
3. Create the selected files. Compare original and result, then download an individual file or ZIP. Changing settings marks older results out of date.

Supported files and limits

Up to 5 files, 10 MiB each and 25 MiB combined. Each image must fit within 8192 pixels per side and 20 million pixels; a batch is limited to 40 million input pixels. Output is limited to 20 MiB per file and 50 MiB combined. One isolated image job runs at a time, with a 30-second timeout and cancellation.

A practical example

Use horizontal flip to mirror a composition, or vertical flip to exchange its top and bottom. The exported PNG retains the original pixel dimensions.

Troubleshooting this tool

Mirroring also reverses visible lettering. If text must remain readable, keep the original orientation or edit a separate composition instead of flipping it.

PNG input must be non-interlaced, 8-bit RGB or RGBA. Animated PNG, EXIF, ICC profiles and compressed/international text metadata are rejected before decoding.

JPG input supports 8-bit baseline/progressive RGB or grayscale. EXIF/ICC/multi-picture metadata and CMYK are currently rejected, so orientation and colour profiles are not silently discarded. Export an unprofiled copy from your image editor if needed.

WebP input must contain one static image. Animation, ICC profiles, EXIF, XMP and unsupported container chunks are rejected. Both lossy and lossless input bitstreams are decoded by the browser; this tool does not promise lossless WebP output.

Check the actual export

Horizontal mirrors left and right; vertical mirrors top and bottom. Text is mirrored too. Inspect downloaded dimensions, transparency and fine edges before replacing an original. Browser encoders differ; a quality setting is not a universal fidelity score, and file size may increase.

Files stay in your browser

No file bytes are uploaded. Ordinary work stays in memory. Choosing a “Continue” action saves that result in this browser for up to 30 minutes, so another compatible working tool can use the actual output. Saved workflows are limited to 50 MiB and 20 files; clear them in Output. Expired entries are removed on later tool visits. Clearing references is not a secure-erasure promise.

If a file fails

Check its actual format and the restrictions above. Renaming a file does not convert it. A failed file does not erase successful batch results. If processing times out, cancel and try fewer or smaller files. A current browser with worker canvas support is required.

Before you use the download

• Check the orientation of the actual download, including any text or directional content.
• A 90- or 270-degree rotation swaps width and height; mirroring changes which side objects appear on.

• Convert PNG to JPG — Convert supported PNG images to JPG with adjustable quality and a white or custom background.
• Resize a PNG image — Resize supported PNG images with real previews, aspect-ratio controls and local downloads.
• Convert PNG to WebP — Create a static WebP from a supported PNG, with quality controls and transparency.
