About Image Rotation

Rotate and flip images to correct orientation:

  • Quick rotate buttons for 90°, 180°, 270°
  • Custom angle rotation (0-360°)
  • Flip horizontally or vertically
  • Real-time preview of transformations

💡 Tip: Use quick rotate buttons for common orientations. Combine rotation and flip for precise control.

What It Does

An Image Rotate tool allows you to rotate images by specific angles (90°, 180°, 270°) or custom degrees, and flip images horizontally or vertically. This is essential for fixing orientation issues from cameras or phones, creating mirrored images for design purposes, or adjusting photos that were taken at incorrect angles. The tool provides quick rotation buttons for common angles and supports custom rotation for precise adjustments. You can preview the rotated or flipped image before downloading, and the output maintains the original image quality. Perfect for photo editing, fixing upside-down images, creating symmetrical designs, or preparing images for specific layout requirements.

Key Features:

  • Rotate by 90°, 180°, 270°, or custom angles
  • Flip horizontally (mirror left-right)
  • Flip vertically (mirror top-bottom)
  • Custom degree rotation for precise adjustments
  • Real-time preview of rotated/flipped image
  • Maintains original image quality
  • Multiple output formats: JPG, PNG, WebP
  • Privacy-focused - all processing in browser

How To Use

Rotating and flipping images is simple: upload your image, choose rotation or flip option, and download the result.

1

Upload Image

Upload your image file by clicking the upload area or dragging and dropping. The image will load and display in its current orientation.

2

Choose Rotation or Flip

Select rotation angle (90°, 180°, 270°) using quick buttons, or enter a custom angle. Alternatively, use flip buttons for horizontal or vertical mirroring.

3

Preview Result

See a preview of the rotated or flipped image instantly. The preview updates as you make changes.

4

Adjust if Needed

If the result isn't correct, try different rotation angles or flip options. You can combine rotations and flips if needed.

5

Download

Download the transformed image in your preferred format. The image maintains quality while being rotated or flipped.

Pro Tips

  • •90° and 270° rotations change image dimensions (portrait becomes landscape)
  • •180° rotation keeps same dimensions but flips image upside down
  • •Horizontal flip creates a mirror image (left becomes right)
  • •Vertical flip flips image top to bottom
  • •Combine rotations: 90° + 90° = 180° rotation
  • •Use for fixing photos taken in wrong orientation

Frequently Asked Questions

1 Does rotating an image reduce quality?
Rotating by 90°, 180°, or 270° (right angles) maintains perfect quality as these are lossless operations. Rotating by custom angles (like 45°) may cause slight quality loss due to interpolation, but modern algorithms minimize this. For best quality, stick to 90° increments when possible. The tool uses high-quality rotation algorithms to preserve image quality.
2 What's the difference between rotating and flipping?
Rotation turns the image around a center point (like spinning a photo). Flip creates a mirror image - horizontal flip mirrors left-to-right, vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom. Rotation changes orientation, while flip creates a mirrored version. You can combine both operations if needed.
3 Can I rotate by custom angles?
Yes, many rotation tools support custom angle rotation (like 15°, 45°, or any degree). However, custom angles may cause slight quality loss due to interpolation. For best results, use 90° increments (90°, 180°, 270°) which are lossless, or use custom angles only when necessary.
4 Will rotating change the image dimensions?
Rotating by 90° or 270° swaps width and height (portrait becomes landscape or vice versa). Rotating by 180° keeps the same dimensions. For example, a 1000x800px image rotated 90° becomes 800x1000px. The tool handles dimension changes automatically.
5 How do I know which way to rotate?
Look at the preview - if the image looks correct, you're done. If it's still wrong, try the opposite direction. Clockwise rotation (90° right) and counter-clockwise (90° left) produce different results. The preview updates instantly so you can see which direction works.
6 Is my image data kept private?
Yes! All rotation and flipping happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to servers, transmitted, or stored anywhere. This ensures complete privacy and security for your images.
