Image Rotator & Flipper
Rotate images by 90° steps or flip them horizontally and vertically.
About this tool
Photos from phones and cameras often arrive sideways or mirrored. This tool rotates images in 90-degree steps and flips them horizontally or vertically — you see the result live and download the corrected image, all processed locally in your browser.
How to use
- 1 Select or drop your image.
- 2 Click rotate left/right or flip horizontal/vertical until it looks right.
- 3 Download the corrected image.
Why use this tool
- Fixes sideways phone photos in seconds.
- Combine rotation and flips freely with live preview.
- No upload, no watermark, no signup.
Pro tip
If a photo keeps reverting to sideways after you fix it, the issue is usually EXIF orientation metadata rather than the pixels themselves — re-saving through a tool like this bakes the correct orientation into the file permanently.
Frequently asked questions
Why do my phone photos appear sideways?
Phones store orientation in EXIF metadata, which some apps ignore. Rotating and re-saving the image fixes it everywhere permanently.
What is the difference between rotate and flip?
Rotate turns the image around its center (90°, 180°, 270°); flip mirrors it along the horizontal or vertical axis.
Does rotating reduce image quality?
90-degree rotations are lossless in content; the re-encode on download may re-compress slightly, which is invisible in practice.
