Rotate Image

Turn a picture by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, or flip it horizontally or vertically. Most often this is about fixing a photo that insists on displaying sideways even though it looked correct on the camera.

Rotate an image

Rotate in 90° steps or flip horizontally/vertically — entirely in your browser.

How to rotate an image

  1. Open the image.
  2. Rotate in 90-degree steps until it sits the right way up, or flip it to mirror it.
  3. Download the corrected image.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my photo appear sideways on one device but not another?
Cameras usually record the picture in the sensor's own orientation and add an EXIF tag saying which way up it should be shown. Software that reads the tag displays it correctly; software that ignores it shows the raw, rotated version. Rotating and re-saving bakes the correct orientation into the pixels, so every viewer agrees.
Does rotating lose quality?
Turning by 90, 180 or 270 degrees simply rearranges whole pixels, so nothing is degraded by the rotation itself. If the output is a JPG, the re-encode costs a very small amount of quality — saving as PNG avoids even that.
What is the difference between rotating and flipping?
Rotating turns the image about its centre and keeps it readable. Flipping mirrors it, which reverses any text in the picture. If you are correcting an orientation problem you almost always want rotate, not flip.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
Every step happens inside your browser tab using Canvas and WebAssembly. The file is never uploaded, so there is no server copy to delete and no account to create.
