When you would use this

Situations, not settings.

Text that reads backwards
A front camera mirrors what it sees. Flipping left to right turns the writing in the photo the right way round.
Two images that should face each other
Mirror one of a pair so a before and after, or a set of arrows, points the way you meant.
A layout that needs the subject on the other side
Flipping is often quicker than finding another photo shot from the opposite direction.

How it works / no cloud

A conversion engine, not an upload form.

filetity redraws the image onto a canvas with the horizontal or vertical axis reversed, then saves that. The mirror happens about the picture's own centre, so nothing shifts or gets cropped. Nothing is uploaded.

Straight answers

No accordion. Nothing hidden.

Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
Does it need an account?
No. There is no account system.
Is my file processed on my device?
Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
What formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP in. The result comes back in the format it went in as: a JPG stays a JPG, a PNG stays a PNG, a WebP stays a WebP. One file out, or a ZIP for several.
What are the limits?
Mirrors both ways, and turns in quarters as well. Flipping never changes the pixel dimensions.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after you have used it once. Your browser keeps what the tool needs, so it then works with no network connection.
Why does my selfie look backwards?
Most phone cameras show you a mirrored preview, because that is what you are used to seeing in a mirror, and then some save the unmirrored version. The photo is correct and your face is simply not what you expected. Mirroring left to right here gives you back the version you saw while taking it.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
Rotating turns the picture, so a quarter turn puts the top edge on the side. Flipping mirrors it, so left and right swap while up stays up. Text gives it away instantly: rotated text is readable sideways, mirrored text is not readable at all.
Does flipping lose quality?
The flip itself does not, it only moves pixels. Saving a JPG re-encodes it, which costs a little. Flip a PNG and nothing is lost.
Can I flip several images at once?
Yes. Every image you drop gets the same flip and they download together as a ZIP, each named with -flipped. A PNG stays PNG and is written exactly; a JPG is written again at quality 92.
Why is the button disabled?
Because nothing has changed yet. Choose a mirror, or a turn, and the button comes on. Saving an image you have not altered would only re-encode it for no reason.
