## Overview

Easily mirror your images with our horizontal flip tool, designed to quickly reverse any photo or graphic from left to right while maintaining high visual fidelity.

## Inputs

- **Image File** (file): Upload any image file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP) for horizontal flipping
- **Output Format** (select): Choose output format or keep original
- **Quality (1-100)** (number): Output quality for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP). Higher = better quality but larger file size

## When to use

- Correcting the orientation of a selfie or photo taken with a front-facing camera.
- Creating mirror-image effects for graphic design projects or social media content.
- Adjusting image composition to better fit your layout by flipping the subject's direction.

## How it works

- Upload your image file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, or BMP) to the tool.
- Select your preferred output format or keep the original file type.
- Adjust the quality slider if you are exporting to a lossy format like JPEG or WebP.
- Click the process button to generate and download your horizontally flipped image.

## Use cases

- Fixing mirrored text or orientation issues in scanned documents or photos.
- Generating symmetrical visual assets for web design and digital art.
- Preparing images for print layouts where the subject needs to face toward the center of a page.

## Frequently asked questions

### What file formats are supported?

The tool supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, and BMP formats.

### Can I change the file format during the flip?

Yes, you can choose to convert your image to JPEG, PNG, or WebP, or simply keep the original format.

### Does flipping the image affect its quality?

The flip operation itself is lossless. However, if you choose to re-encode the image into a lossy format like JPEG or WebP, you can adjust the quality setting to balance file size and clarity.

### Is there a file size limit for uploads?

Yes, the maximum file size for uploads is 20MB.

### Is this tool free to use?

Yes, our image flipping utility is free and accessible directly through your web browser.
