Image flipper
Load an image and flip it horizontally or vertically, the way painters mirror a canvas to spot composition errors. The picture never leaves your browser.
How it works
Painters flip their canvas in a mirror to see it with fresh eyes - a trick that instantly exposes lopsided composition, a drifting face, or a tilt you had stopped noticing. This tool does the same for any image: load a picture and flip it horizontally (the usual mirror) or vertically, with the result drawn on a canvas in your browser. Toggle the flip on and off to compare, and download the flipped version if you want to keep it.
It is dead simple and genuinely useful at every stage of a drawing or painting. Because the image is processed entirely on your device, nothing is uploaded - it works offline and your work stays private.
Example. Load a work-in-progress portrait and flip it horizontally. The face suddenly looks like it leans left - a problem your eye had adapted to. Fix it on the original, flip again to confirm, then carry on.
FAQ
Why do artists flip their work?
Your eye adapts to a drawing as you make it and stops seeing its errors. Mirroring the image breaks that adaptation, so composition mistakes, leaning faces, and skewed perspective jump out immediately.
Can I flip both ways?
Yes. Horizontal flip is the classic mirror; vertical flip is useful for checking values and balance. You can toggle either on and off to compare with the original.
Can I save the flipped image?
Yes. The flipped picture is drawn on a canvas and can be downloaded as a PNG, so you can keep it as a reference or use it elsewhere.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The flip happens entirely in your browser on a canvas. Nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline and your work stays private.
