Flip Image Vertically
Vertical flipping is useful when a scan was fed in upside down.
How Flip Image Vertically works
Mirror an image across the horizontal axis. Vertical flipping is useful when a scan was fed in upside down. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.
That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.
Top becomes bottom
The canvas is translated to the bottom edge and scaled by −1 on the y axis, mirroring the image vertically. Every pixel keeps its column and moves to the mirrored row.
Text stays the right way round horizontally but renders upside down, which is why vertical flips are used for corrections rather than for aesthetics.
Where it is needed
Correcting a flatbed scanner that captured a slide or negative the wrong way up, fixing a mobile photo saved with an inverted orientation, and reversing a chart whose axis was drawn upside down.
It is also useful for creating a reflection effect: flip a copy, fade it, and place it under the original.
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Scanned slide is upside down | Flip V (or rotate 180°) |
| Chart axis inverted | Flip V |
| Reflection effect | Flip V + opacity |
Notes
Transparency is preserved in PNG output; JPEG fills transparent areas with white. The original is untouched — the download is a new file.
Good to know
- Works offline once loaded, including on flights and in locked-down networks.
- No file size limit beyond your device's own memory.
- Free to use, with no account and no usage counter.
- Results are produced locally, so they are not logged or shared with anyone.
Questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No — the image is drawn on a canvas inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Which format is the result?
PNG, which keeps full quality and supports transparency.
Is this the same as rotating 180°?
No. Rotate 180° also mirrors horizontally; a vertical flip alone keeps left and right where they were.
Does it change dimensions?
No.

Make a Thumbnail
Create a thumbnail with a custom longest edge. Thumbnails keep the aspect ratio and never upscale beyond the original.
Open toolCrop Image
Trim a percentage from every side, or crop to a square or 16:9 frame. Cropping discards pixels outside the frame, so keep the original if you may need it.
Open toolImage to Text (OCR)
Extract editable text from a screenshot or photo with OCR. Runs in your browser; only the engine is downloaded.
Open toolVideo Thumbnail
Save any frame of a video as a JPG or PNG image. Choose the second, and the frame is drawn on a canvas — no ffmpeg needed.
Open toolSVG to PNG
Render an SVG file to a PNG at the width you choose. The SVG is drawn on a canvas at full resolution, with an optional background colour.
Open toolRemove Image Metadata
Remove EXIF, GPS and camera data by re-encoding the image. The picture is redrawn on a canvas, which drops every metadata block before download.
