Rotate Image

Rotate images by 90°, 180°, or 270°, and flip them horizontally or vertically to correct orientation. It's the quick fix for sideways phone photos, mirrored selfies, and upside-down scans — and it works entirely in your browser.

Overview

Rotation in 90° steps is lossless when you export to PNG, so you can straighten an image without re-compressing it. Preview the new orientation live and download the corrected file in a single click.

What this tool does

The rotate tool turns your image in 90-degree increments and mirrors it horizontally or vertically. It redraws the image at the new orientation on a canvas and exports a corrected file, so a sideways or mirrored photo comes out properly aligned.

Problems it solves

  • A phone photo imported sideways or upside down.
  • A selfie or scan is mirrored and text reads backward.
  • A document scan needs a 90° or 180° turn to be readable.
  • An image needs flipping to match a layout or design direction.

Key benefits

  • Rotate in 90° steps or flip instantly
  • Live preview of the new orientation
  • Lossless for PNG output
  • One-click download

How to use it

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Drop a JPG, PNG, or WEBP into the tool. The current orientation appears in the live preview.

  2. 2

    Rotate or flip

    Use the left/right buttons to rotate in 90° steps, and the flip buttons to mirror horizontally or vertically.

  3. 3

    Check the preview

    Watch the preview update so you can confirm the orientation is exactly right before exporting.

  4. 4

    Apply and download

    Choose your output format and download the corrected image with a single click.

Example input and output

Example input

A 3024×4032 portrait photo that imported rotated 90° to the left.

Example output

The same photo turned 90° to the right, now upright at 3024×4032.

One tap of 'Right 90°' set the orientation straight; exported as PNG, the rotation was completely lossless.

Common use cases

Fix sideways phone photos

Straighten images that imported in the wrong orientation because of how the phone was held.

Un-mirror selfies and scans

Flip horizontally so text and faces appear the correct way around instead of reversed.

Straighten document scans

Rotate scanned pages 90° or 180° so they're readable and ready to share or archive.

Match a design direction

Mirror an image vertically or horizontally to fit the flow of a layout or composition.

Tips & best practices

  • Export as PNG to stay lossless

    Rotating in 90° steps doesn't degrade pixels, but re-saving as JPG does. Choose PNG output when you want to straighten an image without any re-compression.

  • Use flip to fix mirrored text

    If text in a selfie or scan reads backward, a horizontal flip corrects it. Rotation alone won't un-mirror an image — that's what flipping is for.

  • Combine rotate and flip when needed

    Some orientations need both a turn and a mirror. Apply a rotation and a flip together to get scanned documents and photos perfectly aligned.
