How to Flip Image

1 Upload the images you want mirrored.
2 Choose the axis — horizontal gives you a mirror image, vertical an upside-down reflection.
3 Apply the flip, then check any text, logos or numbers in the preview, because those mirror along with everything else.
4 Download the flipped Image file.

Flip Image FAQ

Does the source format matter when flipping?
+
It does. this format is read and written by the same streaming pipeline as everything else we support. That is what decides whether the mirror can be done by rewriting the file or requires decoding it first.
Yes — the pipeline reads the real format from the file header rather than the extension, so a mislabelled upload still works. Worth a moment before you flip something you cannot easily recreate.
Concretely, the mirror is applied losslessly wherever the source format permits it, so most of a mixed batch is rewritten rather than re-encoded. You choose the axis — horizontal produces a mirror image, vertical produces an upside-down reflection — and the whole file is transformed on it.
A flip reverses the content across an axis and produces a mirror image; a rotation turns it without reversing anything. Text is the giveaway: it reads backwards after a flip and stays readable after a rotation.
EXIF and the ICC colour profile are carried across wherever the target format supports them, and an alpha channel survives into any format that has one. Transparency is only flattened when the destination format has no way to represent it.
All of the common ones — JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG, ICO, PSD, JFIF and HEIC. You can mix formats freely in one batch; each file is identified from its header and routed to the right decoder.
Yes: free accounts process images up to 5 MB each regardless of which image format you brought; ImageMagick, libjpeg-turbo, libpng and libwebp do the actual work. The cap is per file, so a batch of twenty 5 MB photos is fine even though the total is well over the limit.
That depends on what you brought. A lossless source (PNG, BMP, TIFF) round-trips exactly; a lossy one (JPG, WebP, GIF) is already the product of one quantisation pass and only re-encodes if the operation genuinely requires it.
WEBP.to is built around the modern replacement for both of the old defaults: one format that does lossy, lossless, alpha and animation, and reliably lands smaller than the JPEG or PNG it came from. People arrive here having decided the old defaults are costing them bandwidth, and that decision immediately raises the rest: what size, what quality, what happens to the transparency. Flip Image is on the same upload and the same account so those questions get answered in one place.
The converter on this site moves images to and from WebP, PNG, JPG and AVIF, which is where you decide whether a smaller file is worth losing the older browsers. Doing it in that order matters: pick the pixels first and the container afterwards, because the container is the cheap decision and the pixels are the expensive one.
The engines are identical — same libraries, same workers, same caps. What is different is the opinion attached, and the opinion here rests on a property of the format this site is named after: the same .webp extension can hold a lossy VP8 frame, a lossless one, or an animation, so the sensible processing path is decided per file rather than per extension.
No account, and nothing is retained: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, and nothing is inspected, listed or indexed. Accounts exist for history and batch size only.
