There are a few different ways that you can mirror an image in Figma. You can use the flipping tools in the Transform section of the Inspector to flip an object horizontally or vertically.

Alternatively, you can use the Reflect tool to create a symmetry line down the center of your object, which will then reflect the object on either side of that line.

To flip an object horizontally or vertically:

1. Select the object(s) that you want to flip.

2. In the Inspector, click on the Transform tab. Or right-click to open the shortcut menu.

3. Click on the Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical button.
