Flip any image directly from a URL
Append a ?url= parameter pointing at any publicly accessible image, and the flipper opens with it ready to mirror. The image is fetched server-side, so the same-origin and CORS rules a browser would apply to a client-side fetch don't get in the way.
How to use
Single image
Append ?url= with the full image URL. The server fetches the image, hands it to the flipper, and you skip straight to the direction-toggle step.

Multiple images
Repeat ?url= for each image you want in the batch. They share the same Horizontal/Vertical toggle and come back as a single ZIP.

Server-side fetch · No CORS restrictions · Same flipper, different entry point
Why use the URL entry point?
Skip the upload step
When the image is already hosted somewhere reachable, pass the URL and start flipping immediately. Saves a download-then-re-upload round trip.
No CORS restrictions
The fetch happens on the server. Browser same-origin and CORS rules never enter the picture, so images hosted on any domain work the same way.
Batch flip from multiple URLs
Repeat ?url= for each image you want to flip. Up to 30 in one batch, all flipped with the same direction toggle and zipped on download.
Shareable and linkable
The full URL is the session. Send it to a teammate and they land on the exact images you were looking at, ready to flip.
Fits into automated workflows
Build the URL programmatically — a Slack bot, a webhook handler, a Make/Zapier scenario, a CI step — and route users straight to a pre-loaded flipper.
Same flipper, different entry point
Once the images are loaded, the experience is identical to the regular tool: live preview, Horizontal/Vertical toggles, in-browser canvas processing.
How it works
Build the URL
Start with /image/flip-image/by-url?url= and append the full address of the image. For multiple images, repeat ?url= for each one.
The image loads automatically
The server fetches each URL, decodes the image, and opens the flipper with the batch ready.
Flip and download
Toggle Horizontal, Vertical, or both, then click Apply. One image downloads directly; multiple come back as a ZIP.
