What is Rotate Image?
Photos taken on phones often save with the wrong orientation embedded, especially when shot at an angle or uploaded from certain apps. Rather than re-taking the photo, rotating it 90, 180, or 270 degrees corrects the orientation in seconds.
Rotation here is a pixel-perfect operation: the canvas redraws the full image at the new angle with no compression artifacts and no quality loss, regardless of how many times you rotate it. The process runs locally, so the image never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
Can I rotate by any angle or only 90 degrees?
The tool supports 90, 180, and 270 degree rotations, plus horizontal and vertical flip. For arbitrary angle rotation, you would need a full image editor.
Does rotating change the file size?
Rotating 90 or 270 degrees swaps width and height dimensions, which may slightly affect file size. 180 degree rotation and flips keep the same dimensions.
Why is my rotated photo still showing the wrong way?
This happens when the rotation is stored in the EXIF metadata rather than the actual pixel data. Use the tool to apply the rotation physically to the pixels, not just the metadata.
Can I flip an image horizontally?
Yes. The flip option mirrors the image left-right. Useful for creating mirror effects or correcting selfie camera mirroring.
Does the tool preserve transparency?
Yes. PNG files with transparent backgrounds maintain their transparency after rotation or flip.
What formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP are all supported for input and output.
Is Rotate Image Free free to use?
