Image Mirror — Complete Guide

1What is Image Mirror?

Create mirror reflections of your image.

Image Mirror is part of the Pixly suite of professional image tools. It runs entirely in your browser with no software to install, requires no design experience, and delivers results in seconds — whether you are processing one image or an entire batch. Every operation is applied on the full-quality decoded image, so the output preserves the fidelity of your original file.

2How does Image Mirror work?

The mirror engine creates a true reflection effect: a vertically flipped copy is composited beneath (or beside) the original with a linear alpha gradient that fades to transparent, plus optional edge blending. The gradient makes the reflection feel grounded, mimicking how reflections diffuse on glossy surfaces.

Canvas height (or width) grows to fit the reflection, and the background you choose — transparent, white or a color — fills the new area so the result drops straight into any design.

Web developers rely on it to keep pages fast — properly prepared images are the single biggest performance win most sites can make. Designers use it for the last mile of production work: format handoffs, corner rounding, frames and exports that match the platform they are shipping to.

E-commerce teams process entire product catalogs to consistent sizes and weights, which measurably improves load speed and conversion. Content creators and social media managers depend on it for daily platform-ready assets, while students and office teams use it to shrink scans and photos so they fit comfortably inside emails, forms and presentations.
