Flip Image FAQ
Can I flip several files at once?
+
Yes. The same axis is applied to every file in the batch, which is how you fix a whole folder of mirrored captures in one pass instead of one at a time.
What is the difference between flipping and rotating?
+
A flip reverses the content across an axis and produces a mirror image; a rotation turns it without reversing anything. Text is the giveaway: it reads backwards after a flip and stays readable after a rotation.
Does the source format matter when flipping?
+
It does. this format is read and written by the same streaming pipeline as everything else we support. That is what decides whether the mirror can be done by rewriting the file or requires decoding it first.
Anything specific to Image to be aware of?
+
Yes — the pipeline reads the real format from the file header rather than the extension, so a mislabelled upload still works. Worth a moment before you flip something you cannot easily recreate.
Will Flip Image lower the quality of my images?
+
That depends on what you brought. A lossless source (PNG, BMP, TIFF) round-trips exactly; a lossy one (JPG, WebP, GIF) is already the product of one quantisation pass and only re-encodes if the operation genuinely requires it.
Can I run Flip Image on several images at once?
+
Yes, and mixing formats in the batch is fine — settings are applied per file with the right decoder for each. Free accounts run one file at a time; a pass removes that.
What happens to metadata and transparency?
+
EXIF and the ICC colour profile are carried across wherever the target format supports them, and an alpha channel survives into any format that has one. Transparency is only flattened when the destination format has no way to represent it.
Does Flip Image cost anything?
+
No. Flip Image is free without an account and adds no watermark. Uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job completes.
Why does a WebM site host Flip Image?
+
WEBM.to is built around the container the open web actually chose — VP9 or AV1 with Opus audio, decoded natively by every modern browser and needing no plugin, licence or player. Video is the case where extra round trips hurt most — the files are large and every upload costs real minutes. Running Flip Image on the same pipeline as the conversions means one upload covers the whole job instead of one upload per tool.
What should I do with the result once Flip Image is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves video between WebM, MP4, MKV, MOV and the rest, or pulls the soundtrack out entirely, without another upload. Sequencing it that way matters more for video than anywhere else: each re-encode is another generation, so the fewer of them stand between the source and the file you publish, the better it looks.
Is Flip Image here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same ffmpeg build with x264, x265 and libvpx, the same workers, the same limits. What a WebM site adds is a view on containers and codecs: which combinations play everywhere, which need a re-encode and which can simply be copied across. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: WebM is VP9 or AV1 with Opus audio, which browsers decode natively but which most desktop editors still transcode on import.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploaded video is deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, nothing is watched and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
