Rotate Image
Rotate
Saves your edited image at its current dimensions, keeping the original file format. The canvas shows exactly what downloads.
Your images are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
Turn images 90°, 180° or 270° with exact right-angle rotation. No interpolation, no soft edges, no cropping of corners. Photos from cameras and phones sometimes arrive sideways when their orientation metadata is lost; rotating them back is a one-click fix that runs entirely in your browser.
How to use the rotate image
- Add one or more images (drag-and-drop or click to browse).
- Pick a rotation: 90°, 180° or 270°. The preview shows the result before download.
- Press Rotate. Each image re-encodes at your quality setting.
- Download individually, or grab a ZIP for the whole batch.
Why right-angle rotation is lossless
Rotating by exactly 90° just rearranges pixels. Every pixel moves to a new position without being recalculated, so no detail is lost to interpolation. The only quality decision is the final re-encode: at quality 90+, a JPG or WebP output is visually indistinguishable from the original.
Arbitrary angles (like 15°) are a different story: they require resampling every pixel, which softens edges and needs transparent padding for the corners. For those cases, right-angle rotate + crop is usually the cleaner workflow, and this pair of tools does exactly that.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my photo sideways in the first place?
Phones store the intended orientation in EXIF metadata rather than physically rotating the pixels. When that metadata is stripped (by an editor, an upload pipeline, or a messaging app), the image displays rotated. This tool fixes the pixels themselves, so the orientation survives everywhere, including software that ignores EXIF.
Does rotating reduce quality?
The rotation itself is mathematically exact at 90° steps, no resampling. The output is re-encoded at your chosen quality; at 90+ for JPG/WebP this is visually lossless. PNG output is pixel-exact since PNG is lossless.
Can I rotate multiple images at once?
Yes. Add up to 30 files and one rotation applies to all of them, downloaded as a single ZIP. Mixed orientations in one batch are better handled per-file: process each orientation group separately.
Can I rotate by a custom angle, like 45°?
Not here, deliberately: non-right angles resample every pixel and need padding for the corners, which degrades quality and changes the canvas. For a tilted horizon, the better workflow is a small right-angle rotate plus a crop, both available here and lossless.
What formats can I rotate?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF (first frame), BMP, TIFF and HEIC all decode in the browser; output is JPG, PNG or WebP. Rotating a HEIC also converts it to a universally compatible format in the same step.
