Horizontal vs Vertical Flip

|---|---|---|
| Horizontal | Left and right swap, like a mirror | Selfies, reversed text, matching a layout |
| Vertical | Top and bottom swap, upside down | Reflections, creative effects, scanned pages |
Why Are My Selfies Mirrored?
Front cameras show you a mirror image while you take the photo, because that's how you're used to seeing yourself. Some phones save the photo mirrored too. That's why text on your shirt or a sign behind you can look backward.
Flipping it horizontally fixes it. Then the photo shows you the way other people see you.
Stop it at the source
On iPhone, go to Settings > Camera and turn on Mirror Front Camera to choose how selfies are saved. Many Android camera apps have a similar "Save selfies as previewed" setting.
Creative Uses for Flipping
- Make a reflection in water or glass with a vertical flip
- Point the subject into the page. In designs, faces that look toward the text feel more natural
- Create symmetry by flipping one half of a design
- Make iron-on transfers. Print designs mirrored so they read correctly after pressing
Flip vs Rotate
Flipping mirrors the image. Rotating turns it. If a photo is sideways or upside down, it needs rotating, not flipping. This tool includes rotate buttons too, in case you need both.
