How to Rotate or Flip an Image

Three steps, all in your browser.

1

Add your image

Drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse. JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF and BMP are all accepted, and the file never leaves your device.

2

Rotate or flip

Tap Rotate Left or Right for 90° turns, Flip Horizontal or Vertical to mirror, or drag the angle slider to straighten by any degree. The preview updates live and the canvas grows to fit.

3

Download

Pick an output format and download the result. Want to change the size or file weight next? Use the Image Resizer or Image Compressor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does rotating upload my image to a server?
No. The rotator runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is rotated, flipped and downloaded on your own device — it is never sent to a server, logged or stored. That makes it safe for private photos, screenshots and confidential graphics, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Closing the tab clears everything.
Can I rotate by an exact angle to straighten a photo?
Yes. Use the angle slider to rotate by any degree from -180° to 180°, which is ideal for straightening a crooked horizon. The canvas automatically grows to fit the rotated image, and the newly exposed corners are left transparent for PNG and WebP or filled white for JPG. For 90° turns, the Rotate Left and Rotate Right buttons are one tap.
What's the difference between rotating and flipping?
Rotating turns the whole image around its centre — 90° makes a landscape photo portrait, for example. Flipping mirrors it: Flip Horizontal swaps left and right (like a mirror selfie), and Flip Vertical swaps top and bottom. You can combine them — for instance rotate 90° then flip — and the live preview always shows the current result before you download.
Will rotating reduce the image quality?
A 90°, 180° or 270° turn and both flips are lossless — the pixels are simply rearranged, so there is no quality change beyond the output format you choose. A free angle that is not a multiple of 90° resamples the image, which is normal and barely visible. Keeping the source format preserves the most detail; switching to JPG or WEBP re-encodes with a quality slider you control.
Why is my photo sideways in the first place?
Phone cameras often store a photo in its raw sensor orientation plus an EXIF rotation flag. Some apps ignore that flag and show the image sideways. Rotating it here bakes the correct orientation into the pixels themselves, so it displays the right way up everywhere — then you can resize or compress it with the companion Image Resizer and Image Compressor if needed.
