What is the Flip Tool?
The flip tool is used to mirror an image horizontally or vertically. This is useful for adjusting photo orientation, creating symmetrical effects, or fixing mirrored scans. HeronTool's Flip Image tool provides an intuitive interface, allowing you to flip images online without installing any software.
Steps to Use
- Upload your image: Go to the HeronTool website, find the "Flip Image" tool, click the upload button to select a local image, or drag and drop the image into the designated area.
- Choose the flip direction: In the tool panel, click the "Flip Horizontal" or "Flip Vertical" button. Horizontal flip swaps left and right, vertical flip inverts top and bottom.
- Preview and adjust: After flipping, the tool shows the result in real-time. If needed, switch the direction and flip again.
- Download the flipped image: Once satisfied, click the "Download" button to save it to your device. The format remains the same as the original.
Important Notes
- Supports common formats like JPG, PNG, GIF, etc., but flipping an animated GIF may lose the animation frames.
- Flipping does not change the image dimensions; it only rearranges pixels.
- For batch flipping multiple images, repeat the upload steps—each session handles one image at a time.
FAQ
Q: Will flipping reduce image quality?
A: No. Flipping only rearranges pixels without compression or re-encoding, so the original quality is preserved.
Q: Can I flip at a custom angle?
A: This tool only supports 90-degree multiples (horizontal or vertical), not arbitrary angles. For rotation, please use other HeronTool rotation tools.
Q: Are uploaded images stored?
A: HeronTool respects user privacy; images are deleted from the server immediately after processing and are not retained.
