Flip GIF
By Calvin Sun
Flip any animated GIF online. Mirror frames horizontally, vertically, or both while keeping delays and transparency.

Horizontal mirrors left and right. Vertical flips top and bottom. Both applies a 180° mirror.
Frame count: 0
GIF only supports binary transparency. Preserve keeps see-through areas; Solid fills them with a color you choose.
Transparent areas are filled with this color before encoding.
Lower sampling intervals keep more detail but may produce larger files and take longer.
How many times the GIF should repeat after the first play. Infinite loops forever.
gif.js style: 0 means infinite. For custom, enter how many extra repeats after the first play (0–100).
About this flip GIF tool
- • Mirror every frame horizontally, vertically, or both without changing canvas size
- • Each frame keeps its original delay so animation pacing stays the same
- • Live preview updates when you change flip direction; export encodes the GIF
- • All processing happens locally in your browser for privacy
Flip mirrors pixels on each frame. It does not reverse playback order—use Reverse GIF if you want the animation to play backwards.
A flip GIF tool (also searched as mirror GIF, flip GIF horizontally, or flip GIF vertically) mirrors every animation frame so text and motion face the opposite side. OmniGIF does this locally in your browser:
"The scale() method of the Canvas 2D API adds a scaling transformation to the canvas units horizontally and/or vertically."— MDN: CanvasRenderingContext2D.scale()
- Flip frames horizontally, vertically, or both
- Keep canvas size and per-frame delays
- Preview the mirrored animation live before exporting
- Compare original and flipped side by side after export
- Download a new GIF without uploading files to a server
Whether you need a mirrored sticker, a flipped reaction GIF, or a left-to-right layout fix, this free tool keeps the workflow simple and private.
Follow these steps to flip a GIF:
"The Graphics Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that supports animation through multiple frames with per-frame delay timing."— W3C: GIF89a
- 1. Upload your GIF: Drop or select an animated GIF (up to 10MB). Frames and delays are decoded once in the browser.
- 2. Choose flip direction: Pick Horizontal, Vertical, or Both. The live preview updates as you change the axis.
- 3. Preview the result: The live canvas plays mirrored frames so you can judge the flip without re-encoding every tweak.
- 4. Adjust encode options (optional): Set quality, loop count, and transparency handling in the collapsed encode settings group.
- 5. Download the new GIF: Export encodes a GIF with flipped frames plus your quality, loop, and transparency settings.
Because processing stays on-device, you can iterate quickly while your source file stays private.
A few choices improve the final flipped GIF:
- Use horizontal flip when text or logos should face the other way
- Use vertical flip for upside-down memes or mirrored stage layouts
- Watch the live preview before exporting—readability of text matters
- Keep Preserve transparency for sticker-style GIFs with see-through backgrounds
- Pair with Crop GIF if you only need a mirrored region of the canvas
Flipping is a per-frame mirror: if the source pacing and transparency look right, the flipped GIF usually will too.
Frequently Asked Questions - Flip GIF
Upload your animated GIF, choose Horizontal, Vertical, or Both in Flip direction, check the live preview, then click Export. OmniGIF mirrors every frame in your browser and encodes a new GIF.
Flip mirrors the image on each frame (left/right or top/bottom). Reverse reorders frames so the animation plays backwards. Use this tool for mirroring; use Reverse GIF for rewind playback.
No. Output dimensions stay the same, and each frame keeps its original delay unless you change encode settings.
You can choose preserve transparency or a solid fill in encode settings. Mirrored frames keep alpha from the decoded canvas before GIF encoding.
No. Decoding, preview, and encoding all run in your browser. Your GIF never leaves your device.
Each GIF must be under 10MB. Longer animations with many frames may take more time to export in the browser.
