Flip Image

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

Flip reflects the image horizontally or vertically without turning the contents. The horizontal flip switches the left and right sides, while the vertical flip switches the up and down sides. Since only the pixel position is reflected, this operation does not require interpolation and does not degrade quality.

Flip vertically up and down the image
No new pixels are counted, so the quality stays.
