About Mirror PDF

Printing on iron-on transfer paper, sublimation paper or the back of a transparency needs a reversed image, and few printer drivers can do it. This tool flips each page of the PDF as a vector drawing, left to right or upside down, with a side by side preview, so text stays sharp and highlights or filled-in fields are flipped along with it.

Frequently asked questions

Why print a mirrored PDF?+

Iron-on transfer paper, T-shirt and mug transfers, window stickers and some transparencies are printed reversed so the design reads the right way once it is applied. Most printers do not offer a mirror option, so the PDF itself has to be flipped.

What is the difference with rotating?+

Rotating turns the page; mirroring reverses it like a reflection, so text reads backwards. Upside down flips the page over its middle line, which is different from a half turn.

Does the quality change?+

No. The pages are flipped as vectors: text, lines and pictures stay as sharp as in the original, and the file size barely changes.

Can I mirror only some pages?+

Yes. Type the pages, for example 2-4, 7, and only those are flipped. Leave it empty to flip every page.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. The PDF is flipped in your browser and never leaves your device.
