Rotate an image
Rotate images by 90°, 180°, 270° or any custom angle. Flip horizontally or vertically. Free, instant, no server upload required.
About this tool
Rotate an image to fix a photo taken sideways, level a tilted horizon, or turn a scanned document the right way up. Spin in fixed 90° steps or set any custom angle.
The rotation is rendered in your browser with the Canvas API, so your image is processed privately on your device.
For a reflection rather than a turn, use the mirror tool. If the rotation left unwanted corners, crop them off afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
How do I rotate a photo that is sideways or upside down?
Use the 90° buttons to spin the image a quarter-turn at a time, or 180° to flip an upside-down photo upright in one step.
How do I straighten a crooked or tilted photo?
Enter a small custom angle, like 2° or -3°, until the horizon or edges look level in the preview.
What is the difference between rotating and mirroring?
Rotating turns the image around its center. Mirroring flips it to create a reversed reflection. For a left-right or top-bottom flip, use the Mirror Image tool.
Does rotating change the image quality?
Rotating by 90°, 180°, or 270° is lossless. Custom angles add transparent or filled corners and re-render the pixels, with a negligible effect on quality.
