Rotate or Flip an Image

Turn a picture the right way up, or mirror it. A rotation and a flip can be combined in one pass.

How to use it

Add your pictures

Drop one or more images above, or click to browse. A whole batch is turned the same way.

Choose the turn

90° clockwise is the usual fix for a photo taken sideways. Use 270° to go the other way, or 180° for an upside-down shot.

Add a mirror if needed

Horizontal mirrors left to right — handy for a selfie that looks reversed. Vertical flips top to bottom. Either can be combined with a rotation.

Check one before the rest

If you are rotating a batch, run it and open one result. Getting the direction right once saves doing the whole set again.

Download

Each picture is saved with "-rotated" in its name. The originals are left untouched.

Common issues

The photo came out upside down

Rotating twice in the same direction equals one 180° turn. If the result is wrong, turn the original the other way rather than rotating again.

Text reads backwards after a flip

That is what a mirror does. For pictures containing writing, use rotation instead of a flip.

A thin white line appeared on one edge

Some formats round fractional dimensions when turned. It is harmless and usually invisible; save as PNG if it matters.

Transparent areas turned white

JPEG cannot hold transparency. Choose PNG or WebP to keep it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I lose quality when rotating?
Not at a right angle — every pixel is simply moved, so the result keeps the original detail. Smaller angles are not offered for exactly this reason: they would blur the image through interpolation.
Why only 90°, 180° and 270°?
Right angles can be done losslessly, which is what is needed when a photo is the wrong way up. Straightening by a couple of degrees would soften the whole picture.
What is the difference between rotating and flipping?
Rotating turns the picture like a steering wheel; flipping mirrors it as if seen in a mirror. A mirrored photo has left and right swapped without being turned.
Does flipping change what the picture shows?
It rearranges the pixels only. Text in a flipped picture reads backwards — expect that, and do not flip pictures of writing unless you mean to.
Can I rotate several photos at once?
Yes. Every picture in the batch is turned the same way, so a set of sideways scans can be fixed in one go.
Does a rotated photo keep its camera information?
The image is preserved, but details stored alongside it, such as the shooting date, are not carried over, because the picture is redrawn.
Is transparency kept?
Yes, when saved as PNG or WebP. JPEG has no transparency and fills those areas with white.
Does rotating change the file size?
Slightly, because the picture is re-encoded. The amount depends on the output format and quality you choose.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.

Resize ImageMake a picture smaller for the web, or larger for print. Give exact pixels, or scale the whole thing by a percentage. Crop ImageTake a slice off each edge of a picture. Useful for tightening a scan, removing a dark border, or clearing something out of the frame. Compress ImageReduce the size of a photo or graphic by re-encoding it at a quality and a maximum dimension you control — with a before/after size readout so you can see the result. Image to TextHave a picture with words in it — a photo of a page, a screenshot, a receipt or a sign? Read the text out of it and download it as a plain text file, or as a searchable PDF that keeps the image and makes its words selectable.
