Flipping is not rotating
A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right, the way a mirror does — text becomes unreadable and any asymmetry swaps sides. A 180° rotation turns it upside down instead, which is a genuinely different result. People often reach for one when they meant the other, so both are here and you can combine them.
The most common real use is fixing selfies. Front cameras usually mirror the preview but save the unmirrored frame, or the reverse, which is why your own face can look subtly wrong in a photo.
Quality and batches
Flipping and 90° rotation are lossless operations on the pixel grid — no interpolation, no resampling, nothing softened. Saving as PNG or WebP keeps that exactly; saving as JPG re-encodes and loses a little, so keep the original format unless you need the smaller file.
Drop several images at once and the same transform applies to all of them, with a single ZIP at the end.
Frequently asked questions
Will this remove my EXIF data?
Yes. The image is redrawn onto a canvas, which discards all metadata including GPS location and camera details. That is usually welcome before sharing a photo, but keep your original if you want that information.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The flip happens on a canvas in your browser; the file is never sent anywhere.
