Part 1. How to Mirror a Photo or Video on iPhone using Photos App

If your iPhone is running iOS 13 or a later version, the easiest and quickest method to invert an image on iPhone is using its Photos app.

Step 1 In the Photos app, select the image you want to flip.

Step 2 Tap Edit in the screen's upper-right corner, then tap the Rotate/Crop button in the lower right corner of the screen.

Step 3 Now, tap the first (Flip) button in the top left corner to flip the picture sideways, then tap Done to save the flipped image.

Tips : Please note that the mirrored photo will replace the original photo in your iPhone. To revert to your original image, open the flipped image in the Photos app, tap the Edit button and select Revert > Revert to Original at the bottom.

If you want to mirror a video on iPhone, you can also achieve it with the Photos app. Just open the video you want to flip, then reproduce the same steps as above, and you can get your video flipped.

Part 2. How to Change Mirror Image on iPhone with MirrorArt App

For iPhone users whose iOS version is older than 13, they can flip images on iPhone by using a third-party app. After testing various photo editing apps, the best I recommend is the MirrorArt app. It's a free iOS app coming with versatile photo editing features. You can use it to create mirror or reflection effects in photos. What's more, you can directly use it without creating an account or subscribing to any paid plans. Here is how to invert an iPhone image with MirrorArt.

Step 1 Download and install the MirrorArt app on your iPhone.

Step 2 Open the app and give access to all the images on your iPhone or the selected images according to your needs. Alternatively, you can take a new photo by tapping the Camera button in the bottom middle of the screen (remember to give permission to your camera at first).

Step 3 After loading the image you want to mirror to the app, you will enter the Edit screen. There are abundant editing effects for you to choose from. You can select the mirror effects, change the image size, adjust the brightness, contrast, exposure, etc. of the image, and add filter, frame, emoji, signature, etc. to the image.

To simply flip your photo, tap the third Flip/Rotate button.

Step 4 Now you will enter the Rotation screen. To flip your image horizontally, simply tap the flip button in the screen's bottom left corner. Then tap the “tick” button in the bottom right corner of the screen to confirm your operation.

Step 5 Finally, you can tap the Share button at the top of the screen to download the flipped photo or share it to social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and more.

Part 3. How to Take Selfie without Mirror Image on iPhone

Apple has introduced the Mirror Front Camera feature to iPhone since iOS 14. If you don't want your selfie to be flipped, you can turn off the mirror effect on your front camera, to stop iPhone selfies from flipping or mirroring after you take the photo. The steps are pretty easy.

Step 1 Go to Settings > Camera on your iPhone.

Step 2 Scroll down and find the Mirror Front Camera option, then turn it off.

However, if you want your selfie to be mirror flipped, just turn on the Mirror Front Camera switch. It depends on how you want your selfies to look like.
