Examples

1. Correcting Selfie Orientation

Social Media Manager
Background
A brand photo was taken with a front-facing camera, causing text on a shirt to appear backwards.
Problem
The image needs to be mirrored horizontally to restore the correct orientation of the text.
How to Use
Upload the selfie, select 'Keep original format', and process the file.
Outcome
The image is instantly flipped, making the text readable and the composition natural.

2. Optimizing Web Graphics

Web Designer
Background
A product photo shows a model looking away from the call-to-action button on a landing page.
Problem
The model's gaze needs to be directed toward the button to improve user engagement.
How to Use
Upload the product image, set the output format to WebP, and set quality to 85 for web optimization.
Outcome
The flipped image now directs the viewer's eye toward the button, improving the page's conversion flow.
