How to flip image
- Drop the images.
- Choose the direction.
- Press Flip and download.
What happens to your file
The camera’s orientation tag is applied first, then the mirror, and the result is written into the pixels — so the flipped picture opens flipped everywhere, including apps that ignore orientation tags.
A horizontal flip makes any text in the picture read backwards; that is what a mirror does. If the picture is merely sideways, Rotate image is the tool.
Questions
Does flipping lose quality?
No pixel is invented or dropped. Saving as JPG costs the usual sliver of detail from re-encoding; save as PNG to keep it exact.
Why would I mirror a photo?
Selfies are stored un-mirrored, so they look "wrong" next to the preview; scans and slides sometimes arrive reversed; and product shots are flipped to face a layout.
Do it once, not on every form
A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
