Google Docs is one of the most useful online word processors included as a part of the free web-based office suite. It allows you to easily create and edit files while collaborating with other users. It also allows users to share and also print documents for personal as well as professional work. Not only you can create and edit your work with text by adding bullets or adding images to your documents, but you can also rotate or mirror these images in Google Docs. Rotating and flipping an image differ from each other. Rotation of an Image in Google Docs means you are changing the appearance of the image but flipping an image makes a duplicate but a mirrored copy of it. Rotating the image does not mirror the image necessarily.
For instance, when you are rotating an image 180 degrees it will rotate the image upside down. But flipping the image will make the left of the image right and vice versa. Google Docs allows you to rotate and mirror the image across the horizontal axis. There are two possible ways to rotate photos, but there is only one possible way to flip photos. In this article, we will discuss how to Flip an image in google docs and how to rotate an image in google docs.
