Rotate an image online

Runs in your browser — this file is never uploaded

Turn a photo that came out sideways or upside down the right way round. Add your images, choose how far to rotate, and download the result.

A 90° or 270° turn swaps the width and height of the image, the same way turning a phone from portrait to landscape does — a tall photo becomes a wide one. 180° flips it end over end without changing its shape.

Your images never leave your device. Rotation runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, stored, or scanned, and a batch costs no more than a single file.

How to rotate image

  1. Add your images

    Drop JPG, PNG, or WebP files into the box, or click to browse.

  2. Choose how far to rotate

    90° clockwise and 270° clockwise (the same as 90° the other way) both swap width and height. 180° turns the image upside down without changing its shape.

  3. Rotate and download

    Press Rotate Image. One file downloads on its own; several arrive as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Rotation runs in your browser using JavaScript, so your files stay on your device. You can confirm this by opening your browser devtools Network tab while working — there are no upload requests.

Does rotating reduce quality?

Turning pixels to a new position does not remove any of them, so there is no visible loss from the rotation itself. The image is re-encoded on the way out, which for JPG applies the same small, standard compression any JPG save does — invisible at normal viewing sizes.

My phone already shows the photo upright — why does it need rotating here?

Many phones save a photo with its pixels untouched and instead store which way is up as a small tag (EXIF orientation), which your phone's gallery reads and rotates on the fly for display. Not every app or website respects that tag, so the photo can appear sideways elsewhere even though it looked fine on your phone. Rotating here bakes the correct orientation into the pixels themselves, so it displays correctly everywhere.

What's the difference between 90° and 270°?

90° turns the image a quarter-turn clockwise. 270° clockwise lands in the same place as 90° counter-clockwise — a quarter-turn the other way. Try one, and if it is backwards, the other option is what you want.

Can I flip an image instead of rotating it?

Flipping mirrors an image left-to-right or top-to-bottom rather than turning it — a different operation, and Flip Image is the tool for that.

Is there a limit on how many files?

Thirty at a time, which is a limit of your device rather than our policy — everything is held in memory while it works.
