reverse image

Mirror-flipped visual copy

A reverse image is a mirror reflection—left and right switched, as in a photograph flipped horizontally.

The term appears most often in reverse image search, a technique for finding the source or other instances of an image online by uploading the image itself rather than typing keywords: I did a reverse image search to see if the profile photo was stolen.
