Is flipping images really free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. Flip unlimited images of any size, as many times as you want. No watermarks, no signup, no credit card required.
Do my images get uploaded to a server?
Never. All flipping happens locally on your computer. Your images never leave your device.
What's the difference between horizontal and vertical flip?
A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right (like a mirror reflection) - the common fix for reversed selfies. A vertical flip mirrors it top-to-bottom.
Is flipping different from rotating?
Yes. Flipping mirrors the image, producing a reversed version. Rotating turns the image around its center without mirroring it. Use the Rotate Image tool if you need to turn rather than mirror.
Can I flip many photos at once?
Yes. Add a folder of images and FileHop applies the same flip to all of them in a single batch.
Will flipping reduce image quality?
No. Flipping is a lossless operation for most formats - the pixels are simply mirrored, with no re-compression of the image content.
Does it work offline?
Yes, FileHop works 100% offline after installation. No internet connection is required to flip images.
What platforms are supported?
Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows (10, 11). Download the version for your operating system.
