How to Get the Mirror Image of a Photo Using Microsoft Word

A mirror image is how a picture will look when faced with the mirror, just like the reverse image of you while standing in front of the mirror (Reflection).

This tip is essential if you want to print a photo in a flipped perspective.

Luckily, this can be achieved with Microsoft Word for Windows. With just a few clicks, you’ll get a mirror image of a selected picture.

There are three ways to flip an image on Microsoft Word depending on the version of Microsoft Word(Web or App) you’re on, you can try any of the means that suit your preference.

First Method

1. Getting Mirror Image Using Microsoft Word Online

1. Open your Microsoft Word Online (https://onedrive.live.com/) > Select “Insert” from the menus at the top.
2. Navigate to “Pictures” in the list, then click it > Choose the location where the photo is, then select it.
3. Now, right-click on the image and select “Format Picture” or type it in the “Search” box.
4. Go to the “Rotation” tab and change the “0°” input to “360°“
5. Watch your image become an exact mirror of the original.

That’s it.

Second Method

2. Getting Mirror Image Using 3-D Rotation Method

1. Open your Microsoft Word on your PC > Select “Insert” from the menus at the top.
2. Navigate to “Pictures” in the list, then click it > Choose the location where the photo is, then select it.
3. Now, right-click on the image and select “Format Picture” > Move to 3-D Rotation under the effects.
4. Click the arrow to expand the 3-D rotation.
5. Now, change the X-Rotation to “180°” by typing it into the box > You can also rotate by hitting the arrows next to the image.

That’s it.

Third Method

This method seems to be the easiest of all, so we’ve decided to discuss it last in case you find any of the above steps difficult to implement.

1. Launch Microsoft Word> Insert your Picture in any context.
2. Click on the image to select it
3. Drag the proper handle to the left to get your mirror image with ease.

The only demerit of generating a mirror image in Word this way is that it can be hard to get the image to an exact 180°

That’s it.
