How To Flip An Image In Iphone

You can flip a picture on your iPhone right in the Photos app if your device is running iOS 13.
However, if your iPhone can't download iOS 13, you'll need to rely on a third-party app like Photoshop Express.
Either way, it's easy to flip a picture on your iPhone to get its mirror image.

The iPhone is an extremely powerful handheld tool, and when you add in some third-party apps, the possibilities are near-endless.

One feature added in iOS 13 is that you can now flip any picture straight from your Photos app. This is great if you need a picture's mirror image — for example, if you're trying to read some backwards text.

Not every phone can download iOS 13, however; if you have an iPhone 6 or earlier, you'll need a third-party app. Given Photoshop's reputation as the gold standard for editing pictures, Photoshop Express is a great free app to download for this purpose.

With Photoshop Express, you'll be able to edit your photos in ways more advanced than with the standard iPhone editing package. This includes flipping an image to its mirror.

Here's how to do it.

How to flip a picture on an iPhone running iOS 13

1.Open the Photos app.

2. Find the photo that you want to flip, and tap it to enlarge it.

3. In the top-left of the screen (or bottom if you're holding your phone in landscape mode), tap "Edit."

4. The picture will zoom out, and a variety of editing options will appear. Tap the icon that looks like a square with arrows circling it.

This icon will be at the bottom of the screen.

5. This will bring up new options. Tap the icon in the very top-right, which looks like a pyramid that's been split in half. As soon as you tap it, your photo will flip.

Tapping this icon will mirror your photo.

6. Tap "Done" in the bottom-left.

And just like that, you've now got a flipped photo.

How to flip a picture on an iPhone using Photoshop Express

If you can't use iOS 13 or haven't downloaded it, this is the option for you.

1. If you haven't already, download the Photoshop Express app.

2. Sign into the app using one of several accounts (I chose my Gmail). Allow Photoshop Express to access your photos.

3. Scroll through your photos in the app and tap on the one you want to flip.

4. Tap on the crop icon (two right-angles overlapping). The crop function seems to be a standard technique utilized by many third-party apps for flipping photos.

5. Tap on Rotate. Once in the rotate screen, you'll see several options at the bottom of it: Straighten, Rotate, Flip Horizontal, and Flip Vertical.

6. Tap "Flip Horizontal."

Select Flip Horizontal to get the mirror image or your picture.

7. There are other editing tools you can play around with, but if you only want to flip your picture, tap the Share button at the top (the box with an arrow pointing upwards).

8. Tap "Camera Roll." The flipped picture will be added to your iPhone's Photos app.
