Features and controls
Choose horizontal or vertical reflection
Horizontal swaps left and right; Vertical swaps top and bottom.
What each direction changes
Horizontal reflects every point across the vertical centerline. Text and asymmetric shapes appear backward. This is the usual setting for heat-transfer printing.
Vertical reflects across a horizontal centerline, exchanging top and bottom. The paper size and page order remain unchanged.
Keep PDF text and artwork sharp
Page drawing commands are embedded without page screenshots.
Content and interactive items
The result keeps PDF drawing commands, images and embedded fonts. Ordinary text and vector artwork do not lose resolution. Filled form appearances are flattened before mirroring.
Interactive annotations, links, form controls and digital signatures are not carried into the mirrored pages. Review the result if the source uses these features.
Preview and download the mirrored PDF
Check the effect before saving a separate copy.
Finish the workflow
Load a PDF or use Try sample. Select the direction card and inspect the live preview. Move through the pages to check the same direction on each one. Select Start, then Download. Back lets you change direction without reloading the source.

FAQ
A few useful answers
Know what to expect before you start.
On your deviceWhat does Horizontal do?
It reflects every page left to right. Text reads backward, often needed for iron-on transfers.
What does Vertical do?
It reflects every page top to bottom. This differs from a 180-degree rotation.
Is flipping the same as rotating?
No. Rotation changes orientation without reflecting text. Mirroring reverses page content.
Will the PDF become a set of images?
No. Page drawing commands and embedded fonts remain PDF content. Interactive links and annotations are not preserved.
What are the file and page limits?
Open one PDF up to 300 MB and 750 source pages. Protected files need an unlocked copy unless this tool explicitly offers password entry. Large or complex pages can require more memory or reach processing limits even when the file is within these limits.
Are my files uploaded for this tool?
Document processing and PDF generation run in your browser on your device. This tool does not upload the document for processing. Save your result before closing or reloading the page; the original file on your device is unchanged.
