How Does the CompressFly Image Flipper Work?
The CompressFly image flipper creates horizontally or vertically mirrored versions of JPG, JPEG, JFIF, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIF, and TIFF images. A horizontal flip swaps the left and right sides, while a vertical flip swaps the top and bottom. Unlike online image tools that require file uploads, CompressFly processes images directly in your browser, individually or in bulk. Flip images for free with no signup required.
What "in your browser" means
- No image files are sent to a server
- Flipping runs locally on your device
- Flipped images are downloaded directly from your browser
Horizontal Flip vs. Vertical Flip
Horizontal and vertical flips reflect an image across different axes. Neither operation is the same as rotating the image.
Flip an Image Horizontally
Swap the left and right sides to create the familiar mirror-image effect. This is useful for mirrored selfies or reversing the visual direction of a composition.
Flip an Image Vertically
Swap the top and bottom sides by reflecting the image across a horizontal axis. This is useful for inverted reflections and symmetrical design effects.
When to Rotate Instead
Flipping reflects an image, while rotating turns it around a central point. Use the Rotate Image tool when a photo is sideways or needs a 90-degree or 180-degree turn.
