Third Method

3. Getting Mirror Image Using Drag Method

This method seems to be the easiest of all and that’s why we’ve decided to discuss it as the last one in case you find any of the above steps difficult to implement.

  1. Launch Microsoft word > Insert your Picture in any context.
  2. Click on the image to select it
  3. Drag the right handle to the left and you’ll have your mirror image with ease.

The only demerit of generating a mirror image in word this way is that it can be hard getting the image to an exact 180°
