Rotate and flip images online

A photo that shows sideways is usually not sideways in the file. Cameras write an orientation flag into the metadata and leave the pixels alone, and anything that reads the flag shows it upright while anything that ignores it shows it rotated. That is why the same image looks correct in your gallery and wrong after upload.

This page rotates the pixels themselves. The result is upright everywhere, in every viewer, with no flag left to be ignored — and because the export is re-encoded from a canvas, the orientation metadata that caused the confusion is gone from the output too.

three steps

How to rotate an image online

01

Upload

Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP. It is decoded in the browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is no queue.

02

Rotate and flip

Quarter turns in either direction, plus horizontal and vertical mirrors. They stack, so a rotate and a flip together cover all eight orientations a photo can arrive in. Reset returns to the original.

03

Download

Choose the output format and save. Export to PNG if the source was a PNG — going out as JPG would add compression to an image that had none.

quick answers

Rotate Image FAQ

How do I rotate a picture 90 degrees?

Upload it and click the quarter-turn button in the direction you need. Each click is one quarter turn, so two clicks give you 180 degrees.

Why does my photo look upright here but sideways after uploading it somewhere?

The file carries an EXIF orientation flag, and the site you uploaded to ignores it. Rotating here writes the correct pixels and drops the flag, so both kinds of viewer agree afterwards.

What is the difference between rotate and flip?

Rotating turns the image; flipping mirrors it. A flip is not a rotation and cannot be built out of them — text in a flipped image reads backwards, which is exactly what you want for a mirror selfie and never what you want for a scanned page.

Does rotating reduce image quality?

Quarter turns and flips only move whole pixels around, so nothing is resampled and nothing is lost. Any quality change comes from the export format: PNG stays lossless, JPG and WebP re-encode at the quality you choose.

Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle to straighten a horizon?

Not here — this page does quarter turns and mirrors. A free angle needs resampling and a crop to remove the corners it leaves behind, which is a different job from fixing orientation.

What formats are supported?

Upload JPG, PNG or WebP; download as PNG, JPG or WebP. The output format is yours to choose and does not have to match the input.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The transform uses the canvas API in your browser, so files never leave the device.

Is this rotate tool free?

Yes — free, no watermark, no sign-up.
