Upload your image by dragging and dropping it or clicking the upload area. Once loaded, use the rotation buttons to turn the image 90 degrees left (counter-clockwise), 90 degrees right (clockwise), or 180 degrees. Each click applies the rotation immediately so you can see the result in the preview. When you are satisfied, click Download to save the result.
Rotation is useful when your camera or phone saved a photo in the wrong orientation, when you want to create a portrait version of a landscape shot, or when you need to straighten a scanned document that was fed sideways.
Rotation turns the entire image around its center point. A 90-degree rotation swaps the width and height of the image. A 180-degree rotation keeps the same dimensions but turns the image upside down.
Flipping mirrors the image along one axis. A horizontal flip reverses left and right, like a mirror reflection. A vertical flip reverses top and bottom. Flipping does not change the image dimensions.
You can combine rotations and flips. For example, rotating 90 degrees right and then flipping horizontally produces the same result as a transpose operation.
Digital cameras and smartphones embed orientation metadata (EXIF data) in photos. The EXIF orientation tag tells software how to display the image, but the actual pixel data may be stored differently. This causes confusion when some programs respect the tag and show the image correctly while others ignore it and show it rotated or mirrored.
By rotating the image and re-saving it, you burn the correct orientation directly into the pixel data. This ensures the image displays correctly everywhere, regardless of whether the viewing software reads EXIF tags.
Does rotating reduce quality? No. Rotating by 90, 180, or 270 degrees rearranges pixels without recompression. Quality only changes when saving to a lossy format.
What file formats are supported? PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF. The output format matches your original.
Is my image uploaded to a server? No. All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
