About This Tool

What is Image Rotator?

Our Image Rotator makes it easy to rotate a photo to any angle or flip it horizontally and vertically - all in your browser with live preview. Use the quick buttons for instant -90°, +90°, or 180° rotation, or dial in a precise custom angle using the slider (−180° to +180°) or the number input (−360° to +360°). Flip H and Flip V can be combined with any rotation.

For non-90° angles the canvas expands to the bounding box of the rotated image so no content is cropped off. Choose a background fill colour (defaults to white) or enable the Transparent toggle to get a PNG with a see-through background instead. The result panel updates instantly as you change any setting - no manual Apply step needed.

Common uses: fixing sideways phone photos, straightening a crooked horizon, creating mirror/reflection effects, flipping product images for symmetry, or rotating scanned documents to readable orientation. Download as PNG for lossless quality or JPG for a smaller file. Everything runs locally in your browser - your image is never uploaded.

Works with JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. Apply multiple rotation and flip operations before downloading - adjust, preview, and export only when the result is exactly right, without intermediate downloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Image Rotator

Phones store the orientation in EXIF metadata rather than rotating the actual pixels. Photo viewers that support EXIF display correctly, but many websites and older software ignore EXIF and show the raw pixel orientation. Using the rotator bakes the rotation into the pixels directly, making the image display correctly everywhere regardless of EXIF support.

90°, 180°, and 270° rotations are lossless - pixels are just rearranged in a grid. Custom angles (e.g. 2.5° to straighten a horizon) require interpolation, which introduces minimal softness that is imperceptible at normal viewing sizes. Always rotate from the original source image rather than repeatedly rotating a previously saved copy.

Use the custom angle slider and adjust in small increments (0.1-0.5°) while watching the live preview. Most handheld shots need a 1-3° correction. After angled rotation the canvas expands to fit the full image - fill the corner gaps with white or enable Transparent for a clean PNG with no background fill.

Rotation turns the image around its centre point. Flipping creates a mirror image: Flip Horizontal swaps left and right (text reverses), Flip Vertical inverts top and bottom. Both operations can be combined with any rotation angle. Flipping is used for mirror and reflection effects, fixing mirrored selfies, or flipping a subject to face the other direction in a composition.

This tool rotates the full image. For rotating only a specific region, you would need layered editing software like Photoshop, GIMP, or Photopea. For the most common use cases - fixing orientation, straightening a horizon, flipping for a mirror effect - full-image rotation is the correct approach.

No. All rotation and flip operations use the Canvas API and run entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device at any point.
