When should I flip horizontally vs vertically?

Horizontal mirrors undo selfie preview orientation or create symmetrical art. Vertical flips help reflections or upside-down scans.

Will text become unreadable?

Mirroring reverses lettering — only flip marketing assets if design intends mirrored copy.

Does flipping harm quality?

Flips are lossless for uncompressed pixels, but re-encoding JPG introduces new compression noise.

Can I combine flip with rotation?

Apply one correction first, download, then load into the other tool if your browser cannot stack transforms.

Does alpha channel survive?

PNG/WebP transparency flips with the colour channels intact.

Why mirror sprite UVs?

Game engines reuse one texture for left/right facing by flipping quads — export flipped PNGs for bespoke art tools.

No — the bitmap never leaves your session.

Process each file individually unless the tool exposes multi-select; batch needs may require scripting later.
