Flipping an image vertically creates a top-to-bottom reflection — the top becomes the bottom and vice versa. This is useful for creating water reflection effects, fixing images imported with wrong vertical orientation, and creating symmetrical vertical compositions.
Uses for Vertical Flip
- Creating a water reflection effect (original above, flipped below)
- Fixing images imported with inverted vertical orientation from specific cameras or software
- Creating symmetrical top-bottom compositions in graphic design
- Artistic photography — flipping landscapes to create dreamlike reflections
How to Flip Vertically Online Free
Upload your image to imgresizr.com. Open the Rotate tool and select "Flip Vertical." The image flips upside down — the top row of pixels is now at the bottom. Download as JPG or PNG. The dimensions remain the same. To undo, simply apply the flip again.
Flip Vertical vs Rotate 180°
These are different operations:
- Flip Vertical: Mirrors the image top-to-bottom only (like folding across a horizontal axis)
- Rotate 180°: Rotates — which is equivalent to both flipping horizontal AND vertical simultaneously
Creating Water Reflection Compositions
To create a landscape-with-reflection composition: export the original, export a vertically flipped copy, then use imgresizr.com's collage tool to stack the original (top) and flipped version (bottom). Apply a slight blur to the bottom half to simulate the natural look of water reflections. This technique creates striking results for landscape and architectural photography.
