Rotate & Flip Image

How to rotate an image

1. Drop your image or click to choose a file. JPEG, PNG, and WebP are accepted.
2. Click the rotation buttons to rotate left or right by 90 degrees, or flip horizontally or vertically.
3. Preview the rotated image before downloading.
4. Click "Download" to save the result.

Common uses

• Correcting the orientation of photos taken on a phone or camera, then compress the result before sharing
• Rotating images to a specific orientation for documents or presentations
• Flipping product photos horizontally for side-by-side comparison, use image crop to trim to the right composition afterward

Technical specification

• Algorithm or formula: Rotation uses canvas translate and rotate at 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Flips use scale(-1, 1) for horizontal and scale(1, -1) for vertical. Output is then re-encoded with canvas.toBlob.
• Browser API or library: Canvas 2D API. No external library.
• Input limits: Files up to 50 MB and 50 megapixels.
• Output: Rotated or flipped image in the original format (JPEG, PNG, or WebP).
• Known limitations: Only 90-degree increments are supported. Arbitrary-angle rotation, which would require background fill or transparent padding, is not exposed.

Frequently asked questions

What rotation options are available?

You can rotate left (90 degrees counter-clockwise), rotate right (90 degrees clockwise), flip horizontal, and flip vertical.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Rotation is performed locally using the Canvas API.

Does rotating change the image quality?

90-degree rotations are lossless for PNG and WebP. JPEG re-encoding at a high quality setting introduces minimal visible change.

Can I rotate to an arbitrary angle?

The tool supports 90, 180, and 270 degree rotations. Arbitrary angle rotation is not currently available.
