How to rotate an image
Drop your images into the box above, or click Choose files. JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and AVIF all work, and you can add many at once.
Choose how far to turn them: 90° right, 180° or 90° left. Tick Mirror to flip them left to right as well.
Click Rotate images.
Download each image, or all of them as a ZIP.
Why rotate an image?
A photo that looks upright on your phone can show up sideways on a website, in a document or on a printer: the phone stores which way is up as a note that not every app reads. Rotating the pixels themselves fixes it everywhere.
Scans and screenshots sometimes come out the wrong way round, and front-camera selfies are mirrored. Turning or flipping them once saves doing it again in every app.
What happens to the image
The pixels are turned exactly, by a quarter or half turn, so nothing is cropped or stretched and width and height simply swap. The saved image is upright on its own, with no orientation note left for apps to misread.
JPG, PNG and WebP images keep their format; HEIC and AVIF photos are saved as JPG, which opens everywhere. JPGs are saved again at high quality, so the result looks the same.
Is it safe?
Yes. Rotate Image runs entirely in your browser. Your files are read and converted by your own device using built-in browser technology, so they are never uploaded to a server and nobody else can see them.
You can check this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab and convert a file. No upload requests are made.
Images are rotated in your browser. Location and camera details (EXIF) aren't copied into the rotated file.
Files stay in this tab's memory only until you remove them or close the page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rotate several images at once?
Yes. Add up to 500 images and they're all turned the same way. Download them one by one or together as a ZIP.
Why is my photo sideways in some apps?
Phones save photos as the sensor saw them and add a note saying which way is up. Apps that ignore the note show the photo sideways. Rotating here saves the pixels upright, so every app shows it the same way.
What does Mirror do?
It flips the image left to right, as in a mirror. Use it for front-camera selfies, where text and logos come out reversed.
Does rotating lower the quality?
Barely. PNG and WebP are saved losslessly or at high quality, and JPGs at 92% quality, which looks the same as the original.
Can I rotate by any angle, like 5°?
Not yet: only quarter and half turns, which keep every pixel without cropping.
