Image flip / mirror

POST /api/image-flip

Mirror an image — horizontal flip (left/right), vertical flip (upside-down), or both. Lossless on lossy formats too: only the pixel order is changed.

Mirrors the image. Three modes: - `horizontal`: left-right mirror. - `vertical`: top-bottom mirror. - `both`: equivalent to a 180° rotation. Output keeps the input format. For lossy formats (JPEG / WebP), this is effectively lossless because only pixel order changes — no new compression decisions are made.

Inputs

Name	Type	Default	Description
image*	file	—	Input image (PNG / JPEG / WebP).
direction	enum (horizontal \| vertical \| both)	"horizontal"	Which axis (or both) to mirror across.
format	enum (png \| jpeg \| webp)	—	Output format. Defaults to the input's format.

Response

Modes: binary, base64-json. Cache: yes (24h TTL).
