Did you know flipping an image is called “inverting” or “mirroring”? It helps in design, art, and even storytelling!
Let’s say you added a photo on your slide, but it looks odd, facing the wrong way. No worries. You don’t need Photoshop or any fancy tool. Google Slides lets you flip images in seconds—and it’s super easy!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I rotate the image instead of flipping it?

2. What if the image looks blurry after flipping?
Try re-uploading the image in higher quality or using the “Format options” to adjust clarity.
