Horizontal Bitmap Flipper

World's simplest bitmap tool
This is a free and fast online utility that flips BMP (bitmap) images horizontally. Just load your bitmap in the input editor, create a left-to-right reflection, and save the mirrored bitmap. Created by graphics designers from team Browserling.

What is a Horizontal Bitmap Flipper?

learn more about this tool
This free online browser-based program creates a left-to-right reflection of a BMP image. The transformation can be expressed with a simple coordinate rule: a pixel at (x, y) is copied to (width - x - 1, y). As the vertical coordinate stays unchanged, objects remain at the same height while their direction and horizontal position are reversed. This is useful for creating left-facing and right-facing game sprites, correcting photos captured in mirror mode, and viewing an asymmetric design from the opposite direction. Applying the tool twice returns every pixel to its original position. Keep in mind that text, numbers, and directional symbols in the bitmap will also appear backward. To turn the picture upside down instead, use our Flip a Bitmap Vertically tool. Bmp-abulous!

Horizontal Bitmap Flipper examples

Make a Flamingo Look Right
In this example, we horizontally flip a close-up BMP portrait of a pink flamingo. In the original image, the flamingo was looking to the left, but after the flip, it looks to the right. Its head and curved neck retain their vertical position while their left-to-right orientation is reversed. (Source: Pexels.)

Swap the Pink and Blue Backgrounds
In this example, we horizontally flip a BMP image of pink macarons arranged in a vertical line. The pink and blue background areas switch places: the blue half moves from the left to the right, and the pink half moves from the right to the left. As the horizontal flip mirrors the bitmap across its vertical axis, the stack of macarons positioned on this axis remains centered between the two colors. (Source: Pexels.)

Turn Proto Man to the Right
In this example, we horizontally flip a pixel-art BMP sprite of Proto Man. Initially, the character faces left and his yellow scarf extends to the right. After the flip, he faces right and the scarf trails behind him on the left. This creates an opposite-facing sprite without redrawing the character. (Source: Capcom.)
