Everything happens in your browser. Your image is never uploaded or stored. The saved file carries no EXIF data from the original — no capture date, GPS location or camera details.

How to use

Rotates a photo in 90-degree steps and flips it horizontally or vertically — the fix for pictures that arrive sideways or upside down. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

When to use it

  • Standing up a phone photo that shows sideways on a computer.
  • Turning a document that went into the scanner the wrong way.
  • Mirroring text that was photographed in a reflection.

How to use it

  1. Choose a photo. Up to 30MB and 12,000px per side.
  2. Pick 90°, 180° or 270° under rotation, or go back to the original.
  3. Add flip horizontally or flip vertically if needed; they combine with rotation.
  4. Pick an output format and press Download.

Good to know

  • Quarter turns and flips do not resample the pixels, so nothing gets softer.
  • There is no free-angle rotation. Tilting by a few degrees leaves empty corners and forces the pixels to be recomputed, which blurs lines and text — so it is left out rather than done badly.
  • Photos usually appear sideways because of the EXIF orientation flag. This tool bakes the rotation into the image itself, so the result looks the same everywhere.
  • The saved file carries no EXIF from the original.
  • An animated GIF keeps only its first frame.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate by 45 degrees?

No. A tilted rotation leaves empty corners that have to be filled and recomputes every pixel, softening lines and letters. Quarter turns avoid all of that.

I rotated it but another program still shows the old orientation.

That program may be reading the EXIF flag only. This tool rotates the actual image, so reopening the saved file shows it correctly — check that you are not looking at the original file.

Is flipping the same as rotating 180°?

No. A 180° rotation turns the picture upside down; a horizontal flip mirrors it. With text in frame, the mirrored version becomes unreadable.

Can I rotate several photos at once?

One at a time for now. For a batch, keep the same settings and download them one after another.
