How to Flip an Image Upside Down (Vertical Flip)

A vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom, which is exactly what a scanner saved backwards needs, and half of a 180° rotation. It is instant and lossless. Here is how to correct or create an upside-down image.

The short version

Follow the steps below with the free Flip Image Vertically tool — it runs entirely in your browser, needs no upload, account or watermark, and finishes in about a minute.

Step by step

1
Load the image

Bring in the file (batch up to 30).

2
Apply the vertical flip

Top and bottom swap in one click.

3
For a full 180°, flip both axes

Vertical plus horizontal equals an upside-down rotation.

4
Export

Quality and transparency preserved.

Pro tips & common mistakes

  • A vertical flip alone mirrors (not rotates) — reflections and “flip” art use it deliberately.
  • Check text orientation — upside-down text confirms you flipped the right way.
  • Keep the original before correcting a mis-scanned document.

Frequently asked questions

Is upside-down the same as mirrored?
No — upside-down (vertical flip) mirrors top↔bottom; a 180° rotation also flips left↔right.
Does it change image size?
No — dimensions and resolution stay identical.
Can I fix a reversed photo?
Yes — if it is simply inverted, a vertical (or both-axis) flip corrects it.
