How to flip an object in Powtoon

Flipping an object creates a mirror image of it on the stage. This is useful when an object or character is facing the wrong direction in your Powtoon.

How to flip an object

To flip an object in Powtoon Studio, follow these steps:

1. Click the object on the stage to select it. A selection outline appears around the object to confirm it is selected.
2. Click Flip in the toolbar or object options panel that appears. The object is immediately mirrored horizontally on the stage.

The object is now flipped. It remains in the same position on the stage but faces the opposite direction.

What flipping does

Flipping an object mirrors it horizontally — the left side becomes the right side, and vice versa. This applies to characters, images, shapes, and other objects on the stage. Flipping does not rotate the object or change its size.

Note: Flipping is applied immediately and does not require a separate save action. Your Powtoon saves automatically as you work.
