Rotate and flip photos in one click

This rotate image toolturns photos 90° left or right, spins them 180°, and mirrors them horizontally or vertically — with a live preview and instant PNG or JPG download. Operations can be stacked, so fixing a photo that's both sideways and mirrored takes two clicks.

Fix the sideways-photo problem for good

Phones frequently store photos unrotated and rely on an EXIF orientation flag that many websites, CMSs and older programs ignore — which is why an upright photo on your phone appears sideways after upload. Rotating here physically rewrites the pixels, so the image displays correctly everywhere, EXIF or not.

Lossless where it counts

Right-angle rotations and flips move pixels without resampling, and the PNG download preserves every bit, including transparency. Selfies mirrored by the front camera, scanned documents fed in upside down, landscape shots for a portrait slot — all one-click fixes. For further edits, the image cropper, resizer and compressor pick up where rotation ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I rotate an image online?

Upload the image, click 90° left, 90° right or 180° as many times as needed — the preview updates instantly — then download the result as PNG or JPG.

What's the difference between rotating and flipping?

Rotating turns the whole image around its center; flipping mirrors it. A flipped portrait reads text backwards, a rotated one doesn't. This tool does both, and you can combine them.

Why does my phone photo appear sideways in the first place?

Phones often save the pixels unrotated and record the orientation in EXIF metadata. Software that ignores EXIF shows the photo sideways. Rotating here physically re-arranges the pixels, which fixes it everywhere.

Does rotating reduce image quality?

90°/180° rotations and flips rearrange pixels without resampling, so no detail is lost. Downloading as PNG is fully lossless; JPG re-encodes at high quality (92%).

Will transparency be preserved?

In PNG downloads, yes. JPG doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas are flattened onto white — pick PNG if you need the alpha channel.

Is my photo uploaded?

No — all rotation happens on a canvas in your browser.
