Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kapwing's Image Mirror tool free?
Yes, anyone can use Kapwing's Mirror 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 Mirror an image on an iPhone
Kapwing works across both desktop and mobile devices. To Mirror an image on an iPhone, start by uploading a picture or photo 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 an image horizontally (left to right) or vertically (top to bottom) along its axis.
- Mirror: Creates a reflection of the image, usually horizontally, as if viewed in a mirror. In many tools, “mirror” and “flip” are used interchangeably, though “mirror” emphasizes symmetry and aesthetics.
- Rotate: Turns the image by a chosen angle (90°, 180°, 270°), clockwise or counterclockwise. This changes its position but does not mirror or flip it.
- Reverse: Often used informally to mean flip (especially horizontal flip for correcting text or selfies). It’s not a standard technical term and is sometimes confused with a 180° rotation.
If you mirror an image, does it affect quality?
No, mirroring an image with Kapwing preserves the original image quality.
