Rotate any image 90°, 180°, 270° or custom angle — free, no upload

Flip horizontally or vertically. Canvas-based — lossless and instant.

Common rotation use cases

📷 Fixing sideways photos

Smartphones sometimes save photos in portrait orientation with EXIF rotation metadata rather than physically rotating the pixels. After EXIF stripping (which the Canvas API does automatically), the image may appear rotated. Use this tool to correct the orientation.

🚴 Correcting scanned documents

Flatbed scanners and phone scan apps frequently produce slightly rotated documents. Use the custom angle input to fine-tune the rotation by small increments (1–5°) until the document is level.

🌐 Creating mirrored effects

Flip horizontally to create mirror-image effects for photography projects, symmetry experiments, and creative social media content.

🖼 Adjusting for composition

Slightly rotating a photo (1–3°) can fix a tilted horizon in landscape photography, correct a leaning building in architectural photos, or adjust the composition of a portrait for better visual balance.

Rotate vs flip — which do you need

Operation	What it does	When to use
Rotate 90° clockwise	Turns image 90° to the right	Portrait photo saved as landscape
Rotate 90° anticlockwise	Turns image 90° to the left	Alternative orientation correction
Rotate 180°	Flips image upside down	Correcting an inverted scan
Custom angle	Rotates by any degree	Correcting a tilted horizon or scan
Flip horizontal	Mirrors left-to-right	Mirror effect, selfie mirroring correction
Flip vertical	Mirrors top-to-bottom	Reflection effects, inverted compositions

Frequently asked questions

Is 90° rotation lossless? ▼

Yes — 90°, 180°, and 270° rotations rearrange pixels on a grid without any interpolation. The output is mathematically identical to the input, just reoriented.

What fills the corners when I rotate by a custom angle? ▼

White by default (for JPEG output). If you download as PNG, corners can be transparent. For a custom background colour, combine with the Add Border tool.

Why does my image look different after EXIF stripping? ▼

If your original file had rotation stored as EXIF data (common in smartphone photos), the Canvas API strips this metadata and outputs the "raw" pixel orientation. Use the rotate tool to correct the orientation after stripping.

Can I rotate by 0.5 degrees? ▼

Yes — the custom angle input accepts decimal values. Enter 0.5, 1.5, or any fractional degree. Note that non-right-angle rotations require pixel interpolation which may slightly soften the image.
