Rotate & Flip Image
Rotate 90°, 180°, or 270° and flip — live preview, nothing uploaded.
Photos taken on a phone are often saved sideways because the rotation is stored as EXIF metadata rather than in the pixel data itself. Not every app reads that metadata, so the image appears rotated when opened on a computer or shared online. This tool physically rotates the pixels and exports the result — no EXIF dependency, no inconsistent display. You can also combine rotation with horizontal or vertical flipping for more precise corrections, and the live canvas preview updates with every click so you always know exactly what you're exporting.

- 1
Drop your PNG, JPEG, or WebP image onto the upload area, or click to browse.
- 2
Use the transform buttons to rotate 90° left, 90° right, or 180°, and to flip horizontally or vertically. Combine them freely.

The canvas preview updates live with every click — what you see is what gets exported.
- 4
Select an output format: keep the original, or convert to PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
- 5
Click "Export Image" to download the result. You can send it to Compress Image if you want to reduce the file size in the same session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does rotating reduce image quality?
Rotating by 90°, 180°, or 270° and exporting as PNG is lossless — no interpolation happens. Exporting as JPEG always re-encodes, but the rotation itself adds no additional blur.
What is the difference between flip horizontal and flip vertical?
Flip horizontal mirrors left-to-right, like holding the image up to a mirror. Flip vertical mirrors top-to-bottom.
Can I combine rotations and flips?
Yes — click any combination of buttons and the preview updates instantly. All transforms are applied in one export step.
Why does my phone photo appear sideways on some devices?
Phones store orientation as EXIF metadata rather than rotating the actual pixels. Apps that ignore EXIF metadata show the image sideways. Exporting through this tool bakes the correct orientation into the pixels, so it displays correctly everywhere.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser via the Canvas API. Open DevTools → Network to confirm nothing is sent.
