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.

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.
