Guide to Flipping Images Vertically
A vertical flip mirrors your image along the horizontal axis — the top becomes the bottom and the bottom becomes the top. This creates a reflection effect similar to looking at something reflected in water.
Use Cases
Water reflections: Create beautiful reflection effects for landscape and architectural photography. Artistic compositions: Combine the original with the flipped version for symmetrical designs. Fix inverted scans: Correct documents or photos that were scanned upside down.
Other Transformations
Try horizontal flip for mirror effects, 90° rotation, or our custom rotator for any angle.
Flipping an image top to bottom
You want the top of the picture to become the bottom, as in a water reflection.
A vertical flip reflects the image across a horizontal axis through its centre. The result looks like a reflection in still water rather than a rotation, and text becomes upside down and mirrored at the same time. It is used most often to build reflection effects, to correct images captured through a mirror or prism arrangement, and to repair scans produced by equipment that reads the page from the opposite edge.
When people use this tool
Reflection effects
Placing a vertically flipped and faded copy under an object produces the familiar glossy reflection used in product graphics.
Microscope and instrument images
Optical systems often invert the image, and a vertical flip restores the real orientation.
Fixing inverted scans
Certain scanners and fax devices output pages reflected rather than rotated.
Step-by-step
- 1 Upload your image. Processing takes place entirely inside your browser.
- 2 Apply the vertical flip. The image is redrawn reflected across its horizontal centre line.
- 3 Compare with the original. Confirm this is a reflection rather than the rotation you may have intended.
- 4 Download. Save the flipped file with its dimensions unchanged.
Formats, limits and output
| Transform | Reflection across the horizontal axis. |

Practical tips
- • For a reflection effect, reduce the opacity of the flipped copy and add a soft fade towards the bottom.
- • If you wanted the image the right way up rather than mirrored, use the 180 degree rotation instead.
- • Applying the flip a second time restores the original exactly.
- • Keep transparency by exporting as PNG or WebP rather than JPG.
More questions about this tool
What is the difference between a vertical flip and a 180 degree rotation?
A rotation keeps text readable. A vertical flip mirrors the image, so text appears upside down and reversed.
Does it change the file dimensions?
No. Width and height stay exactly the same.
Can I flip a transparent PNG?
Yes, and the transparency is carried through into the result.
Is any quality lost?
Not by the flip itself. Only the re-encode that happens when you save affects a JPEG.
