Can You Flip Images in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 7:45 pm

There are a number of ways to flip images in Canva. You can use the Rotate tool, which is located in the top left corner of the image, or you can use the Flip tool, which is located in the top right corner of the image. You can also use the Free Transform tool to flip an image.

To flip an image using the Rotate tool, click on the image to select it and then click on the Rotate tool. A menu will appear with options to rotate the image clockwise or counterclockwise.

To flip an image using the Flip tool, click on the image to select it and then click on the Flip tool. A menu will appear with options to flip the image horizontally or vertically.

PRO TIP: If you try to flip an image in Canva, it may appear to work at first, but the image will not actually be flipped. This is because Canva uses a different method for flipping images than most other software. Instead of flipping the image itself, Canva flips the entire canvas around the image. This can cause problems if you’re not expecting it, so be warned!

To flip an image using the Free Transform tool, click on the image to select it and then press CTRL+T (Windows) or CMD+T (Mac). This will bring up the Free Transform handles.

Click on one of the handles and drag it in order to flip the image. You can also use this method to rotate and scale an image.

The above methods can be used to flip images in Canva.
