Rotate and Flip an Image

Turn sideways photos the right way up, straighten a slightly tilted horizon, or mirror an image. Rotations of 90° are lossless in size; angled rotations can expand the canvas or crop to fill it.

How to use the Image Rotator & Flipper

  1. Drop an image on the box, choose one, or paste it.
  2. Use the rotate buttons for quarter turns, the flip buttons to mirror, and the slider to straighten by a few degrees.
  3. For angled rotations, choose whether to expand the canvas or crop to fill, and pick a background.
  4. Choose a format and download.

How do I rotate an image?

Rotating turns the whole picture around its centre. Quarter turns (90°, 180°, 270°) simply swap width and height. Any other angle leaves empty corners, which can be filled with a colour or transparency, or removed by cropping the result to the largest rectangle that fits.

How it works

The image is redrawn on a canvas with the rotation and mirroring applied at full resolution. For angled rotations, “Crop to fill” calculates the largest rectangle with the original proportions that fits inside the rotated image, so the result has no empty corners.

Phone photos that look sideways in some apps usually have an EXIF orientation flag. This tool reads the photo upright, as your phone shows it, and the downloaded file is saved upright without the flag, so it displays the same way everywhere.

Useful for

  • Fixing photos that upload sideways
  • Straightening a tilted horizon or shelf
  • Mirroring a selfie so the text reads the right way
  • Creating mirrored design assets

Limitations

  • Angled rotation resamples the image, which softens it very slightly; quarter turns do not.
  • Crop to fill removes some of the edges. The steeper the angle, the more is removed.

Questions

Why does my photo appear sideways on some websites?
Phones often save photos in one orientation and add a tag saying how to turn them. Some websites ignore the tag. Running the photo through this tool saves it upright with no tag needed.
Is rotating a JPG lossless?
Any re-save of a JPG recompresses it. At 92% or above the change is not visible. Choose PNG if you need a perfectly lossless copy, at the cost of a larger file.
