When creating PowerPoint designs or editing PowerPoint templates, mirroring an image can sometimes be helpful to give your audience a unique perspective or to make up for a photo taken from an awkward angle. You can do this by using the PowerPoint flip image option.
How to Mirror a Picture in PowerPoint
To get started, go to the Pictures option from the Insert tab to insert a picture from your device, stock images, or online pictures via Bing.
Resize the image to suit your needs so that it is appropriately displayed on the slide.
To create a design where the same image appears on the opposite side, copy and paste it next to or below the original image.
Go to the Picture Format tab, select Rotate Objects, and select Flip Horizontal.

Final Words
By creating a mirror image in PowerPoint, you can design PowerPoint presentations that can be visually appealing and enable you to add a fresh perspective to your slides. However, using this option in moderation is advised, according to context. Since your slides can quickly end up looking awkward or unprofessional if this method is misused. For example, you might want to mirror an image on a title slide to create an attractive opening slide to show different perspectives. On the contrary, mirroring images of team members when introducing your team during a meeting might not be the best way to design your slides.
