How Do I Flip a Layer in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 26, 2023 @ 2:52 pm

There are a few ways to flip a layer in Photoshop, depending on what you want to achieve. One way is to go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal.

This will flip the entire layer around its horizontal axis. Another way is to go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical, which will flip the layer around its vertical axis.

If you want more control over how the layer is flipped, you can use the Free Transform tool. To do this, select the layer you want to flip, then go to Edit > Free Transform (or use the shortcut Ctrl+T).

This will bring up a bounding box and handles around your layer. To flip the layer horizontally, click on the middle handle on the left side of the bounding box and drag it to the right. To flip the layer vertically, click on the middle handle on the bottom of the bounding box and drag it up.

Once you’re happy with how your layer is flipped, press Enter or Return to apply the transformation.
