How it works

The canvas transform applies a negative scale on the horizontal or vertical axis, then translates the source so its bounds remain inside the output. Pixel order reverses along the chosen axis while dimensions stay unchanged.

  • A sign-changing scale performs a mirror without changing dimensions.

Worked example

Mirror Image
Flip an image horizontally to create a mirror effect
Input
											data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo... (image data URL)
Output
												PNG with pixels reversed along the horizontal axis

When to use this

Photo composition, game sprites, and design previews flip images.

Edge cases

  • Text in the image becomes backwards when mirrored.
  • A horizontal flip changes visual orientation but not an EXIF orientation tag.
  • Transparent edges remain transparent after the transform.
