3Apply the flip, then check any text, logos or numbers in the preview, because those mirror along with everything else.

Flip JPEG 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.
How does Flip JPEG mirror the file?
+
Concretely, a horizontal or vertical mirror is a lossless DCT transform, so the file is rewritten without decoding and re-encoding the image at all — the output is pixel-identical to a mirrored original. You choose the axis — horizontal produces a mirror image, vertical produces an upside-down reflection — and the whole file is transformed on it.
Anything specific to JPEG to be aware of?
+
Yes — the .jpeg and .jpg extensions are the same bitstream, so nothing here behaves differently from a .jpg — only the filename changes. Worth a moment before you flip something you cannot easily recreate.
When would I actually want to flip rather than rotate?
+
Correcting a scan or a webcam capture that came out mirrored, making a symmetrical pair from a single asset, or matching the direction a subject faces to a layout. If the content contains text, logos or numbers, check the result — those mirror too.
What can I upload to Flip JPEG?
+
Anything in the lossy raster family — JPG, JPEG, JFIF and WebP — plus the lossless formats (PNG, BMP, TIFF) if you want to mix them in one batch. The format is read from the file header, not the extension, so a photo saved with the wrong suffix still goes through.
Is there a file size limit on Flip JPEG?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 25 MB each, which covers essentially every camera JPG and phone photo; the work is done by libjpeg-turbo and libwebp, the same libraries a desktop editor links against. Larger files are the one thing the free tier will stop you on, and the limit is per file rather than per batch.
Will Flip JPEG lower the quality of my JPEG images?
+
A lossy source is already the result of one quantisation pass, and any operation that has to re-encode adds a second. Where the job can be done without touching the pixel data we do that instead, and where it cannot you choose the quality factor yourself rather than getting a fixed default.
Can I run Flip JPEG on several JPEG images at once?
+
Yes. Drop the whole set into the upload area and they queue in parallel with identical settings — that is the main reason to do this in a browser rather than one file at a time in an editor. Free accounts run one file per batch; a pass lifts that.
Why does a EPUB site host Flip JPEG?
+
EPUB.to is built around the open eBook format — XHTML in a zip, reflowable by design, and readable on hardware nobody has thought about the layout for. A book is a zip full of markup, images and fonts, so almost every job people bring to an eBook site is really a job on one of those things. Flip JPEG runs on the same upload and the same account as the conversions because that is where it is needed.
What should I do with the result once Flip JPEG is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves books between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF and DOCX, so a title ends up on whatever hardware is actually going to read it. Doing that after Flip JPEG means the conversion is made from the version you settled on, not from the one you were still fixing.
Is Flip JPEG here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a EPUB site adds is a view on reflow: which of these operations a reflowable book genuinely supports, and which ones only make sense on the fixed-layout media inside it. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: the book is a zip of XHTML with a manifest, so the text costs almost nothing and every decision that matters is about the embedded images and font subsets.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, nothing is read and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
