Good to know
Front-camera selfies are often saved as a mirror image, so writing on a shirt or a sign reads backwards. Flipping turns it the right way round. It also helps when a product photo or design needs to face the other way.
The photo is saved at full resolution (on iPhones and iPads up to about 16.7 megapixels). You can crop or straighten it in the same step.
Questions
How do I flip an image upside down?
Tap Rotate right twice to turn it upside down, and tap Flip as well if it should also be mirrored.
Why is the writing in my selfie backwards?
Many phones save front-camera photos as a mirror image. Flip it once and the writing reads the right way.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Your photo is edited by your browser on your device.
