Horizontal flipping for readability
Portrait-oriented panels sometimes land backwards after screen recording or flipped hardware demos. Horizontal mirroring recovers directional arrows, breadcrumbs, onboarding tooltips without retracing screenshots.

PNG keeps sharp pixels plus transparency, which is exactly why reviewers export UI screenshots here. Horizontal flips unwind reversed mockups captured from mirrored devices.
Same knobs as JPEG—horizontal or vertical—but PNG is where overlays and PNG cutouts behave. Flip first, export as PNG or WebP again when you still need transparency; JPEG will flatten things you didn’t mean to flatten.

Portrait-oriented panels sometimes land backwards after screen recording or flipped hardware demos. Horizontal mirroring recovers directional arrows, breadcrumbs, onboarding tooltips without retracing screenshots.
Vertical flips invert top/bottom gradients. Designers occasionally export comps upside-down from automation scripts; flip once here before cropping into FigJam.
PNG keeps lossless fidelity for crisp UI typography. WebP trims file size yet keeps transparency broadly supported. JPEG is best only when overlays land on intentional solid matte colors.
Screenshots with alpha, retina exports, translucent icons — that’s PNG country. Knowing when to bail to JPEG—and when doing so silently wrecks halos—is the stuff people stumble on once and remember forever.
Quick workflow
Do these in sequence so what you download matches what you saw on screen.
Upload
Drag & drop PNG or browse; confirm preview matches Artboard cropping.
Mirror
Toggle horizontal mirror for left/right; vertical invert for stacked hero art.
Export
Download PNG/WebP if transparency survives; JPEG only after flatten consciously.
PNG FAQs
Straight answers about transparency halos, exports that looked fine until Slack got them, and giant retina grabs that choke slower laptops.
Yes. Orientation changes reorder pixels — alpha masks stay untouched until another format strips them.
JPEG cannot encode alpha. Flatten picks a matte color automatically, haloing translucent edges unintentionally.
Apply the identical flip twice to return to baseline. Repeated exports as JPEG degrade because JPEG compresses anew each save.
Crop inside Figma/XD first, shrink width to your doc target resolution, retry upload so canvas memory stabilizes.
If regulated industries require accurate UI capture, annotate that mirroring flipped UI text for readability and keep originals archived.
