Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kapwing's Flip Image tool free?
Yes, anyone can use Kapwing's Flip Image tool for free.
Is there a watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations
Are photographs reverse images?
Selfies taken with a front-facing camera often produce a mirrored image, swapping the left and right sides to mimic how you see yourself in a mirror. Traditional cameras, however, capture the scene as it truly appears, making them non-reversed. If needed, use Kapwing to quickly flip or mirror photographs and correct the orientation.
How to flip an image on an iPhone
Kapwing works across both desktop and mobile devices. To flip an image on an iPhone, start by uploading a picture to Kapwing's online browser. Next, select the image and click 'edit image'. Scroll at the bottom of your iPhone until a 'Rotate' section appears. Here, you can flip, mirror, rotate, or reverse your image for free.
What image files does Kapwing work with?
Kapwing supports most major file types, including but not limited to, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and more.
How do you reverse an image?
Reversing an image simply involves rotating an image across its axis, typically by 90 or 180 degrees. Select your picture or photo then navigate to the 'Rotate' section on the right-hand toolbar (desktop). From here, click on the third icon to reverse the image in one click.
What is the difference between a flip, mirror, rotate, and reverse image?
The terms flip, mirror, rotate, and reverse image describe different ways to alter an image's orientation or appearance:
- Flip: Reverses the image horizontally (left to right) or vertically (top to bottom) along its axis, creating a simple inversion
- Mirror: Similar to a horizontal flip, it creates a reflection of the image as if viewed in a mirror. It emphasizes symmetry and is often interchangeable with the term "flip"
- Rotate: Turns the image by a specific angle, such as 90°, 180°, or 270°, either clockwise or counterclockwise. It changes the image’s position without flipping or mirroring it
- Reverse: Often overlaps with "flip" or "rotate" depending on the context, but typically refers to rotating an image 180°
If you flip an image, does it affect quality?
No, flipping an image with Kapwing preserves the original image quality.
