Common rotations
How to rotate an image
- Drop your images into the box above, or click to browse.
- Use the buttons to rotate left or right, or mirror the image horizontally or vertically. The preview updates instantly.
- Download the result — one image, or the whole batch as a ZIP.
Rotating vs flipping
They're often confused. Rotating turns the entire image around its centre — 90° to stand a sideways photo upright, or 180° to turn it the right way up. Flippingmirrors it instead: a horizontal flip swaps left and right (handy for a mirror selfie where text reads backwards), a vertical flip swaps top and bottom.
When you'll need it
- A phone photo that stubbornly shows up sideways in some apps.
- A scanned document or receipt that came in rotated.
- A mirror selfie where the writing is reversed — flip it back.
- Lining up a batch of product shots to the same orientation.
Why phone photos come out sideways
Modern cameras don't physically rotate the pixels when you turn the phone — they save the image in its raw orientation plus a small "orientation" tag telling apps how to display it. Most apps honour that tag, but some — older software, certain upload forms, a few browsers — ignore it and show the photo on its side. Rotating it here writes the correct orientation into the pixels themselves, so the image looks right no matter what opens it.
Why rotate in your browser?
Everything runs on your own device — your images are never uploaded, so nothing is stored or seen by anyone. Rotating by 90° or 180° doesn't resample the pixels, so there's no quality loss. No account, no watermark, no limits.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does my photo show up sideways?
- Phone cameras store the photo with an orientation tag rather than rotating the actual pixels. Some apps ignore that tag and show the image sideways. Rotating it here bakes the correct orientation into the pixels, so it looks right everywhere.
- Does rotating reduce image quality?
- Rotating by 90° or 180° is lossless in terms of pixels — nothing is stretched or resampled. The image is re-saved, so for JPGs there's a tiny re-encode, but at the high quality used here it's invisible.
- What's the difference between rotate and flip?
- Rotating turns the whole image around (90°, 180°). Flipping mirrors it — horizontal flip swaps left and right, vertical flip swaps top and bottom, like looking at a reflection.
- Can I rotate several images at once?
- Yes. Drop in a batch, set the rotation, and they're all transformed the same way on your device. Download them individually or together as a ZIP.
- Are my images uploaded anywhere?
- No. Rotating and flipping happen entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded, so nothing is stored or seen by us.
