Why are front-camera selfies often mirrored or inverted?

Many smartphone front cameras save images mirrored as seen in a reflection, or conversely un-mirror them unexpectedly. This tool lets you flip the photo back to how you want it.

What is the difference between rotating and flipping an image?

Rotating turns an image around a central pivot point (90° or 180°), whereas flipping creates a mirror reflection along an axis.

Will flipping reduce the dimensions or resolution of my photo?

No. The output image retains 100% of the original pixel width and height without downsampling.

Is it safe to upload confidential photos?

Yes. All image processing happens purely on your local device CPU via client-side JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted over the internet.

Can I flip multiple times or combine horizontal and vertical flips?

Yes. You can independently toggle horizontal and vertical flipping at will with immediate real-time feedback.
