Rotate & Flip Image
Rotate images 90° or 180° and flip them horizontally or vertically online — free, instant and private, with PNG, JPG or WebP download.
About the Rotate & Flip Image
Rotate any image 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise or 180°, and mirror it horizontally or vertically — all in your browser with a live preview. Operations combine naturally: rotate a sideways phone photo upright, then flip it to fix a mirrored selfie, and reset at any time if you change your mind.
Sideways photos are the classic use-case: phones sometimes save pictures with orientation metadata that desktop software ignores, leaving the image lying on its side. Rotating here bakes the correct orientation into the pixels themselves, so the photo displays upright everywhere — in emails, forms, documents and old software alike.
Because everything is processed locally with the HTML5 canvas, your image is never uploaded, there is no quality loss from server re-compression, and the result downloads instantly as PNG, JPG or WebP at the full original resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix a photo that displays sideways?
Upload the photo and click Rotate 90° CW or CCW until it is upright, then download. Sideways photos usually happen because the camera stored an orientation flag that some apps ignore. Rotating here rewrites the actual pixels, so the corrected photo appears upright in every program, browser and upload form from then on.
What is the difference between rotating and flipping an image?
Rotating turns the whole image around its center — 90° or 180° — like turning a printed photo on a table. Flipping mirrors it across an axis: a horizontal flip swaps left and right like a mirror, while a vertical flip turns it upside down without rotating. You can combine both in this tool and see the result live.
Does rotating an image reduce its quality?
Rotating by 90°, 180° or 270° simply rearranges pixels, so there is no quality loss in the image data itself. If you download as PNG the result is fully lossless; JPG output re-encodes at high quality (92%), which is visually identical for photos. For pixel-perfect graphics, choose PNG or WebP.
How do I mirror a selfie so text reads correctly?
Front cameras often save a mirrored image, which makes any text in the photo appear reversed. Upload the selfie and click Flip Horizontal — that swaps left and right back to reality, so writing on signs, T-shirts and whiteboards reads the right way. Download as JPG or PNG when it looks correct.
Is my image uploaded to a server when I rotate it?
No. The rotation and flipping happen entirely in your browser using the canvas element — the file never leaves your device. That makes the tool safe for documents, ID photos and personal pictures, and it works just as fast for large photos because there is no upload or download wait.
