    About Flip Image Vertically

    When is it useful? Flip Image Vertically turns a picture upside down like a reflection in water. It is used for reflection effects in designs, for correcting images from some scanners and cameras, and for craft and printing work that needs a mirrored layout.

    Good to know: a vertical flip swaps top and bottom but keeps left and right, so it is different from rotating by 180°, which also swaps left and right. The picture keeps its size, nothing is cropped, and the result is saved as a PNG without camera or GPS details.

    Tips for Better Results

    • Want the picture upside down with text still readable backwards? Use Rotate Image 180° instead.
    • For a mirror image from left to right, use Flip Image Horizontally.
    • Flip several pictures at once and download them together.

    Guide

    Flip Image Vertically: a complete guide

    What a vertical flip does

    A vertical flip swaps top and bottom, like a reflection in a lake. Left stays left and right stays right. Designers use it to create reflection effects under products and logos, and it corrects images from some scanners, microscopes, cameras and older software that save pictures upside-down and mirrored.

    What happens when you flip

    Every column of pixels is reversed from top to bottom. The picture keeps its size, nothing is cropped, and no detail is lost in the flip. The result is saved as a PNG without the original camera metadata. Several pictures can be flipped together.

    Vertical flip or 180° rotation?

    A 180° rotation turns the picture upside down and also swaps left and right, so text stays readable when you turn your head. A vertical flip only swaps top and bottom, so text becomes upside-down mirror writing. If a photo is simply upside down, use Rotate Image 180° instead.

    Common problems and how to fix them

    Text reads backwards and upside down: you needed a 180° rotation — undo by flipping again. You want a reflection under an object: flip a copy, place it below the original in an editor, and fade it out. The file is large: compress the PNG afterwards.

    Good habits

    Decide between flip and rotate before editing, keep the original, and check text in the picture after flipping.
