How to rotate or flip an image
- Add your image — drag and drop it onto the box, click to browse, or paste it from your clipboard.
- Adjust it — use Rotate left 90° and Rotate right 90° to spin the photo, and Flip horizontal or Flip vertical to mirror it. Every action stacks, so you can rotate and flip in any combination, and the live preview updates instantly.
- Reset if needed — the Reset button puts the image back to its original orientation without re-uploading the file.
- Download — click Download image to save the corrected picture to your device.
Rotate and flip — what is the difference?
Rotating turns the whole image around its centre. A 90° turn swaps the width and height, which is exactly what you need when a phone snapshot comes out sideways or upside down. Because the rotation happens in clean quarter-turns, no pixels are interpolated or blurred — the picture stays pixel-perfect.
Flipping mirrors the image. A horizontal flip swaps left and right (handy for selfies, which cameras often record mirrored, or for facing a subject the other way in a layout). A vertical flipswaps top and bottom, which is useful for reflections and certain scanned documents. You can combine flips and rotations freely — for example, flip horizontally and rotate right to get any orientation you need.
When you download, JPEG photos are saved back as JPG and everything else is saved as a lossless PNG, so the file stays compatible with whatever you are working on. Need to change the format itself or shrink the file? Try theimage converter or the image compressor.
Is it private?
Yes. This tool decodes your image with the browser's built-in createImageBitmap API and redraws it on an HTML <canvas> entirely on your own device. Your photo is never uploaded to any server, never stored, and never seen by anyone — which makes it safe for screenshots, ID scans, private snapshots and confidential documents. You can even use it offline once the page has loaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No — it is processed locally in your browser on a canvas and never leaves your device.
Does rotating or flipping lower the quality?
No. Quarter-turn rotations and flips are lossless. PNGs are saved losslessly and JPEGs are re-saved at high quality, so any change is negligible.
Can I rotate by a custom angle like 45°?
This tool focuses on clean 90° rotations and flips, which cover the vast majority of straightening needs and never blur the image.
Which file formats are supported?
Any image the browser can open — JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP. JPEGs download as JPG; the rest download as a lossless PNG.
