What Is Rotate & Flip?

Rotating turns an image around its center — the classic fix for a photo taken with the phone held sideways, or a scanned page that came out upside down. Flipping mirrors it left-right or top-bottom, useful for correcting a mirrored selfie or reversing a scanned image. Both are lossless: no pixel data is added or removed, just repositioned, so you can rotate and flip an image as many times as you need without any cumulative quality loss the way repeated JPEG re-saves would cause.

How to Use This Tool

  1. 1Add one or more photosDrag and drop, or click to choose. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC photos all work.
  2. 2Turn, mirror or flipRotate left or right in 90° steps, mirror left-to-right (for selfies), or flip upside down. The preview updates straight away.
  3. 3Straighten if it's tiltedDrag the Straighten slider or type an angle like 2.5°, using the grid to line up a horizon or the edge of a page. The empty corners are cropped away automatically, or you can keep the whole image and fill the corners.
  4. 4DownloadSave the photo at full size, or all your photos as one ZIP. No watermark, no sign-up.

When You'll Actually Need This

  • Scanned documents — a flatbed scanner or scanning app frequently produces sideways or upside-down pages that need a quick 90° or 180° correction before sharing or printing.
  • Front-camera selfies — many phone front cameras save a mirror-flipped image compared to what you saw in the preview; flipping it back matches how other people actually see you.
  • Screenshots taken on a rotated device — a phone held sideways for a landscape screenshot sometimes saves the image in the wrong orientation.
  • Correcting a batch import — photos pulled from an old camera or SD card sometimes carry the wrong orientation flag, showing up sideways in a gallery even though the sensor captured them correctly.

Good to Know

  • A photo taken sideways on a phone usually needs one 90° rotation to look right — this is common when a phone's orientation sensor doesn't match how the photo was actually held.
  • Flip horizontal mirrors left-right (useful for correcting a "selfie" mirror effect); flip vertical mirrors top-bottom.
  • Rotating by 90° or 270° swaps the image's width and height — a portrait photo becomes landscape and vice versa, which can affect how it fits into a layout designed for the original shape.
  • Nothing is uploaded — rotation and flipping happen entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does rotating an image lose quality?

Turning and flipping in 90° steps moves pixels without changing them. JPG and WebP photos are saved again at 95% quality, which looks the same to the eye; PNG stays lossless. Straightening by a small angle slightly softens the image, as it does in any editor, because pixels have to be blended.

Can I rotate by a custom angle, not just 90°?

Yes. Use the Straighten slider or type any angle to a tenth of a degree. "Crop empty corners" trims the blank triangles a tilted rotation leaves; "Keep whole image" keeps everything and fills the corners with transparency, white, black or any colour.

What's the difference between rotate and flip?

Rotating turns the whole image around a center point, like spinning a photograph — think of turning a printed photo in your hand. Flipping mirrors it along an axis, like looking at it in a mirror, without changing which way is "up".

Why does rotating 90° change my image's dimensions?

A 1200×800px landscape photo rotated 90° becomes an 800×1200px portrait photo — the width and height swap places, since you're physically turning the whole grid of pixels on its side.

My phone photo looks correctly oriented already but shows sideways here — why?

Some photos store orientation as metadata (an EXIF rotation flag) rather than physically rotating the pixel data — your phone's gallery reads that flag and displays it correctly, but not every app does. Rotating it here bakes the correct orientation directly into the pixels, so it displays correctly everywhere.

Can I rotate many photos at once?

Yes. Add several photos together and the same rotation, flip or straightening is applied to all of them. Download one at a time, or all of them in a single ZIP file.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
