Rotate and flip images online
Turn a picture the right way up or make a mirror copy, and see the result before you save it. It all runs in your browser.
- Turn in 90 degree steps. Rotate left and rotate right turn the picture a quarter turn at a time. The preview updates at once, and the new width and height show underneath.
- Mirror either way. Flip left-right makes a mirror image, and flip up-down turns the picture upside down along its middle. Flips and turns can be mixed in any order.
- Each image on its own. Add a batch and fix every photo separately, since phone pictures often need different turns. Thumbnails show each direction, and Apply to all copies one setting to the rest.
- Keep or change the format. Save as the same format, or switch to JPEG, WebP or PNG. For JPEG and WebP you set the quality, and PNG stays lossless.
- Transparency stays. PNG and WebP keep transparent areas. Saving as JPEG fills them with white, because JPEG has no transparency.
- Up to 50 images at once. Drop a whole folder, then download each image or everything as one ZIP. Your images are never uploaded.
- Share or paste. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl or Cmd + V, and use Share to send the result straight from your phone.
Uses of rotating and flipping images
A wrongly turned picture is a small problem that shows up everywhere. These are the most common times you need this.
- Photos that open sideways. Some pictures show up rotated on a computer or in a document, even though they looked right on the phone. Turn them the right way and save a new copy.
- Scanned pages. Scanners and phone scan apps sometimes save a page on its side. A quick quarter turn fixes it before you print or send.
- Selfies and mirrored text. Front cameras often save a mirror image, so writing looks backwards. Flip left-right to get the real view.
- Upside-down pictures. Two quarter turns, or one flip up-down, puts a picture that was taken with the phone upside down back the right way.
- Mirror effects. Flip a product shot, a logo or a portrait to make a mirror version, or to point a subject toward the text on a page.
- Print and album layouts. Turn a batch of landscape or portrait photos so they all match before you send them to a printer or build an album.
- Slides and documents. Put a sideways screenshot or diagram the right way up before you drop it into a slide deck or a report.
Rotate and flip questions
How do I rotate an image online?
Add your picture, press Rotate left or Rotate right until it looks correct, then choose Download. The turn happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
What is the difference between rotate and flip?
Rotating turns the whole picture around, so the top moves to a side. Flipping makes a mirror image: left-right swaps the left and right sides, and up-down swaps the top and bottom.
Will rotating lower the quality?
Not for 90 degree turns and flips, because every pixel only moves to a new place. JPEG and WebP are saved again though, so keep the quality high, around 92 or more, or save as PNG for no loss at all.
Why does my photo look sideways here but fine on my phone?
Phones often store the picture sideways and add a note, called the EXIF orientation, saying how to show it. This tool reads that note, so what you see is how the picture should look. The saved copy has the turn built in.
Does it remove EXIF and location data?
Yes. The picture is redrawn and saved as a new file, so camera details and GPS position are not carried over. If you change nothing, the original file is kept as it is.
Can I rotate by a custom angle?
This tool does quarter turns and flips. To straighten a crooked picture by a few degrees, use the Image Cropper, which has a straighten slider.
Can I turn many images at once?
Yes. Add up to 50 images, turn each one on its own or copy one setting to all, and download everything as one ZIP.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to a server.
