Flip Features
ImageSizr’s flip tool gives you precise control over image mirroring:
- Horizontal Flip — mirrors left-to-right. Ideal for correcting mirrored selfies, reversing design elements, or creating symmetrical compositions.
- Vertical Flip — mirrors top-to-bottom. Useful for reflection effects, creative compositions, and correcting upside-down scans.
- Combined Flip (H+V) — apply both flips simultaneously for a 180-degree mirror effect that reverses the image in both directions.
- Status Indicator — a clear visual indicator always shows the current state: None, H, V, or H+V, so you know exactly which flips are active.
- Instant Preview — CSS-transform preview updates immediately as you toggle each flip, giving real-time visual feedback before final canvas processing.
Flip vs. Rotate — What Is the Difference?
Flipping and rotating are both image transformations, but they work differently:
Flipping mirrors the image along an axis. A horizontal flip reverses the image left-to-right, while a vertical flip reverses it top-to-bottom. The image content is reversed but the dimensions stay the same.
Rotating turns the entire image by a given angle around its centre point. A 90-degree rotation changes portrait to landscape (and vice versa), while fine-tune rotation can straighten a tilted horizon.
Use flip when you need to correct a mirrored selfie, create a mirror-image design element, or reverse the direction a subject is facing. Use rotate when you need to fix orientation, straighten a horizon, or turn an image to a specific angle.

Output Formats
Export your flipped image in the format that best suits your needs:
- Original — keeps the source format unchanged for quick mirror flips without format conversion.
- JPEG — lossy compression for smaller file sizes, ideal for photos and images where compact size matters.
- PNG — lossless output with transparency support for graphics, screenshots, and images with transparent areas.
- WebP — modern format balancing excellent compression with quality, ideal for web-optimized images.
