What is Image Rotate/Flip?

Image rotation and flipping lets you change the orientation of a photo or create mirror-image reflections. It is one of the most common fixes for smartphone photos that were saved sideways, selfies that appear reversed, or scanned documents that ended up upside down. This tool handles it all right in your browser with a single click, no software installation required.

User Guide

  1. Drag and drop or click to upload your image
  2. Click a rotation button (Left 90, Right 90, or 180 degrees)
  3. Optionally click the horizontal or vertical flip button
  4. Stack multiple transformations until the orientation is correct
  5. Click "Download" to save the final result

  • Adjusting photo orientation before uploading to websites or social media
  • Matching image direction to printer settings for print-ready files

Common Questions

Q: What image formats are supported?

Most common formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP are supported.

Q: Does rotating affect image quality?

No. Pixels are simply rearranged, so there is zero quality loss from rotation or flipping.

Q: Can I rotate by a custom angle like 45 degrees?

Currently only 90-degree increments and flipping are supported. For arbitrary angle rotation, a dedicated image editor would be needed.

Q: Can I apply multiple transformations at once?

Yes, you can stack as many rotations and flips as you like. Each transformation is applied immediately.

Q: Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes, it works on mobile browsers. You can rotate photos taken on your phone right away.

Q: Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your images never leave your device.

Q: Are transparent PNG backgrounds preserved?

Yes, PNG transparency is fully maintained after any rotation or flip.

Q: Can I undo transformations?

Yes, click the "Reset" button to discard all transformations and return to the original image.

Q: What format is the downloaded file?

The result is saved as a PNG file at the original resolution.

Q: Can I process multiple images at once?

Images are processed one at a time. After saving, click "New Image" to immediately start editing the next one.

How It Works

Image rotation combines translate() and rotate() on the Canvas 2D context. The origin moves to the canvas center, rotates by the specified angle, then draws the image. 90° and 180° rotations require swapping canvas width and height. Free-angle rotation is also supported, with empty areas filled transparently or with a background color.

Image Rotation Usage Guide

Image rotation is frequently needed for scanned documents, smartphone photos, and digital camera images. Tilted scans can be corrected with a 90° rotation, and smartphone photos saved in the wrong orientation are easily fixed.

For batch processing multiple images, rotate and download one at a time. All major formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF) are supported, and original resolution is maintained after rotation. The flip function (horizontal/vertical) is useful for removing mirror effects from selfies or when print layout requires a reversed image. All processing occurs in your browser, so personal photos remain private.
