Can I flip both directions at once?

Yes. Toggle horizontal and vertical mirroring independently, or enable both to flip the image diagonally.

Does flipping reduce image quality?

No. Mirroring is a lossless canvas transform, so the output keeps the original pixels and is exported as a clean PNG.

What is the difference between flip and rotate?

Flipping mirrors the image across an axis, so text becomes reversed and a left hand appears as a right hand. Rotating turns the image around its centre without mirroring. Use flip to correct reflections, rotate to fix orientation.

Does horizontal flip reverse text?

Yes. A horizontal flip swaps left and right, so any text or logos in the photo will read backwards. This is expected behaviour for a true mirror.

Can I flip a transparent PNG?

Yes. The transform preserves the alpha channel, so transparent areas stay transparent and the output is saved as a PNG that keeps transparency.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The flip is done on a canvas in your browser and the image never leaves your device.

Flip & Mirror Image — Gera Tools

Flip and mirror images in your browser

Mirror a photo left-to-right, top-to-bottom, or both — handy for fixing selfies that came out reversed, creating a reflection effect, or correcting a scan that was fed in the wrong way. Toggle the directions and the preview updates instantly.

How it works

The image is drawn onto a <canvas> whose coordinate system is flipped before drawing. A horizontal mirror negates the X scale (scale(-1, 1)) and shifts the origin by the image width; a vertical mirror negates the Y scale (scale(1, -1)) and shifts by the height. Enabling both negates both axes, which is equivalent to a 180° rotation combined with a mirror. Because this only rearranges existing pixels, the operation is completely lossless.

Example

Horizontal	Vertical	Result
On	Off	Left-right mirror (selfie fix)
Off	On	Top-bottom flip (reflection)
On	On	Both axes flipped

The transform runs on a local <canvas>, so your images are never uploaded. Load a photo, pick a direction, and download the PNG.
