Rotate or flip an image

Turn sideways photos the right way up, or mirror them.

or drop them here · paste with Ctrl+V

Original orientation

What it does

Fix photos that appear sideways or upside down, or flip a picture to mirror it. Rotate in 90° steps and flip horizontally or vertically, and every image you add gets the same change, so a whole batch from one shoot is fixed in one go. The rotation is drawn into the pixels rather than stored as a hidden tag, so the image shows the right way up in every app and on every website.

How to use it

How it works
  1. Click “Choose images”, drop one or more images onto the box, or paste with Ctrl+V (⌘+V on a Mac).
  2. Use “Rotate left” or “Rotate right” to turn them 90° at a time, and the flip buttons to mirror them. The previews update straight away.
  3. Every image gets the same rotation. Click “Reset” to start over.
  4. Download the images one by one, or all at once as a ZIP.

Common uses

  • Fixing phone photos that show up sideways after being uploaded to a website
  • Mirroring a selfie so text in the background reads the right way
  • Turning scanned pages or photographed documents that were captured upside down

Tips

  • If a photo looks right on your phone but sideways elsewhere, the phone is using a rotation tag that the other app ignores. Rotating it here fixes it for good.
  • Selfie cameras save a mirrored picture on some phones; “Flip horizontally” turns writing back the right way.
  • JPG files are saved again at high quality, so rotating many times in a row elsewhere can soften them. Do all your turns here in one go, then download once.

Questions

Does rotating reduce the quality?

PNG and WebP images stay lossless. JPG images are saved again at high quality (92%), which isn’t visible in normal use. Rotating several times here still saves the file only once.

Why does my photo look different here than in my gallery?

Phones often store photos sideways with a tag that tells apps how to turn them. This tool reads that tag first, so the preview matches what you see in your gallery, and the rotation you choose comes on top.

Can I rotate several images at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like; every image gets the same rotation and flip, and you can download them all together as a ZIP.
