Adding images to your PowerPoint presentation is a great way to make your presentation more visually appealing. PowerPoint also brings a bunch of formatting tools to the table, including one to flip your images horizontally.
Flipping a Picture Horizontally
Go ahead and open your presentation and go to the slide with the image you’d like to flip. Once there, click the image to be flipped and then go to the “Format” tab.
Over at the “Arrange” section, find and click “Rotate.”
A drop-down menu will appear with a few image manipulation options. Here, select “Flip Horizontal.”
Now your image will be flipped! As an example, here is an image at its normal orientation, then after it’s flipped horizontally.
Normal Orientation
Flipped Horizontally
This is something you can use when a picture just doesn’t look right in its original orientation. You could also make a copy of an image and then flip one of them horizontally to create a mirrored image effect.

Adding images and SmartArt to compliment the content of your presentation is one of the key factors in making it successful. PowerPoint, with its large inventory of image-manipulating features, allows you to flip and rotate images, ensuring your PowerPoint is set up exactly as you’ve intended.
Flipping an Image in PowerPoint
Go ahead an open your PowerPoint presentation and head to the slide that contains the image to be flipped. Once there, select the image.
Once selected, a new “Format” tab will appear. Select that tab and then click the “Rotate” button.
A dropdown menu with a few options will appear. Here, select “Flip Horizontal.”
You’ll now notice your image has, as expected, flipped horizontally.
As with many Office applications, though, there’s a quicker way to flip your image. Go ahead and select the image. Click and hold the bullet in the top-right corner, then drag left.
The same can also be done for rotating images by selecting the arrow at the top of the image and moving your cursor to the desired position.
Create the perfect presentation by taking advantage of these PowerPoint features.
