Turn sideways and upside-down photos the right way up
Sometimes a photo opens rotated the wrong way, or a scan comes in sideways, or you want a mirror image for a design. This tool fixes all of that: pick 90°, 180° or 270°, optionally flip horizontally or vertically, and apply it to a single image or a whole batch at once. It bakes the new orientation straight into the pixels, so the result looks the same in every app and on every device. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded.
How to rotate an image
- Drag your JPG, PNG or WebP images into the box above, or click to select many.
- Choose a rotation angle from the Rotate menu — 90°, 180° or 270°.
- Optionally tick Flip H to mirror left-to-right or Flip V to mirror top-to-bottom; these combine with the rotation.
- Download each corrected image, or click Download all to get the batch as a ZIP.
Common jobs this tool helps finish
- Fixing sideways phone photos: straighten shots that came out rotated because the phone misread how you held it.
- Correcting scans: turn a document or photo that was fed into the scanner the wrong way around.
- Mirroring for design: flip an image horizontally so a subject faces the other direction in a layout.
- Batch-fixing a set: apply the same 90° turn to a whole folder of images shot at the same wrong angle.
Rotate vs flip, and the EXIF orientation catch
Rotating spins the image around its centre, while flipping mirrors it like a reflection — a flip is not the same as a 180° rotation, because a flip reverses left and right. There is one quirk worth knowing about phone photos. Many cameras save the picture in its raw sensor orientation and simply attach an EXIF orientation tag telling apps how to turn it for display. Some programs honour that tag and some ignore it, which is why the same photo can look upright in your gallery but sideways on a website or in an email. Rotating with this tool writes the correct orientation into the actual pixels and removes that ambiguity, so the image displays the same way everywhere. The rotation step only rearranges existing pixels and adds no blur; PNG and WebP output stays pixel-perfect, while JPG is re-encoded once on save.
Is it private?
Yes. Rotating and flipping happen entirely on your own device inside the browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server, never stored by us, and never seen by anyone else — unlike most online tools that send your files away to process them.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between rotating and flipping?
Rotating turns the whole image around its centre by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Flipping mirrors it left-to-right or top-to-bottom, like a reflection. You can apply a rotation and a flip together in one step.
Why does my photo look rotated everywhere except in one app?
Many phones save a photo upright but store the orientation as an EXIF tag rather than rotating the actual pixels. Some apps honour that tag and some ignore it. Rotating here bakes the correct orientation into the pixels so it looks the same everywhere.
Is rotating by 90 or 180 degrees lossless?
The rotation itself only rearranges existing pixels, so no detail is lost in that step. Because the image is re-saved afterwards, JPG output is re-encoded once; PNG and WebP keep full fidelity.
Can I rotate many images at once?
Yes. Drop in many images and apply the same rotation and flip to all of them, then download each or all as a ZIP.
Does it keep the original format?
Yes. PNG and WebP stay in their own format; other inputs are saved as JPG.
