Rotate Image — Rotate 90° and Flip
Last updated: 2026-06-25
Photos never leave your device · 100% client-sideRotating spins a photo 90/180/270 degrees, or flips it horizontally/vertically, to fix a wrong orientation.
A 90- or 270-degree rotation swaps width and height, and everything is processed on a canvas in your browser.
Rotate & Flip Tool
How to use
- Select an image — Drag the image you want to rotate, or upload it with the file picker.
- Rotate / flip — Use the rotate left/right 90 degrees, 180 degrees and horizontal/vertical flip buttons to fix the orientation.
- Check the preview — Confirm the resulting orientation and size in the canvas preview.
- Download — Click the download button to save the rotated/flipped image.
How rotating and flipping work
Rotating turns an image by an angle, while a flip mirrors it left-right or top-bottom. Rotation in 90-degree steps and flipping only relocate pixels, so they are clean transforms with no color loss. Note that rotating 90 or 270 degrees swaps width and height.
For example, a 1200×800 landscape photo rotated 90 degrees to the right becomes an 800×1200 portrait image. A 180-degree rotation or a horizontal/vertical flip keeps the width and height the same.
Results by transform
| Transform | Result size | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 90° rotation | 800 × 1200 | Switch landscape ↔ portrait |
| 180° rotation | 1200 × 800 | Fix an upside-down photo |
| 270° rotation | 800 × 1200 | Portrait in the other direction |
| Horizontal flip | 1200 × 800 | Fix a mirrored selfie |
| Vertical flip | 1200 × 800 | Mirror / water-reflection effect |
After fixing the orientation, use resize image to change the size, or crop image to keep just the area you want.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Does rotating swap the width and height?
Rotating 90 or 270 degrees swaps width and height. For example, a 1200×800 photo rotated 90 degrees becomes 800×1200. A 180-degree rotation or a flip keeps the size unchanged.
Does rotating or flipping reduce quality?
90/180/270-degree rotation and horizontal/vertical flips only rearrange pixel positions, so they are essentially lossless. Saving as PNG keeps quality intact; saving as JPG or WebP re-compresses and may introduce slight loss.
How is flipping different from rotating?
Rotating turns the image clockwise or counterclockwise, while a horizontal flip (mirror) reverses left and right as in a mirror. A selfie that came out mirrored can be fixed with a horizontal flip.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Rotating and flipping run 100% inside your browser, and your photos are never uploaded or stored.
