What is the difference between flipping and rotating?

Flipping mirrors the image, so text reads backwards. Rotating turns it while keeping text readable.

Does flipping lose quality?

No pixels are interpolated, they are reordered. JPEG output is re-encoded at high quality.

Which formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, BMP and WebP. Transparency is preserved for formats that support it.

Why does my selfie look wrong until I flip it?

Many phones save the front-camera image mirrored relative to the preview. A horizontal flip restores what you saw.

About this tool
