Rotate & Flip Image

Sideways phone photos, upside-down scans and mirrored selfies are everyday annoyances. Some viewers fix orientation on screen but the file itself is still wrong, so it shows up sideways again when you upload it or insert it into a document.

This tool permanently rotates images by 90°, 180° or 270°, flips them horizontally or vertically, or rotates by any custom angle to straighten a slightly tilted scan. It works on a single photo or on 50 at once, and it runs entirely in your browser.

Custom angles enlarge the canvas so no corner of the photo is cut off; you choose whether the new empty corners are transparent, white or black.

The rotation is written into the pixels themselves, not just flagged in metadata. That is exactly why it fixes the “it looks fine on my phone but sideways on the website” problem: the new file has no orientation tag left to be interpreted differently by different programs.

How It Works

1. Add images — JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF and others, up to 50 at a time. EXIF orientation is applied on load, so you start from what your phone actually showed you.
2. Choose the transformation — a fixed rotation, a custom angle in half-degree steps, and/or horizontal and vertical flips. All selected changes are applied together.
3. Save the result — each image is drawn onto a correctly sized canvas with a rotation and mirror transform, then encoded in the original or a new format. Download singly or as a ZIP.

Compatibility & Support

Supported Input → Output Formats

• Input: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HEIC, SVG, AVIF
• Output: same format, JPG, PNG or WebP
• Operations: 90°, 180°, 270°, custom angle, flip horizontal, flip vertical

Unsupported Formats

Rotation here is for pictures, not for fixing perspective: a document photographed at an angle (a trapezoid rather than a tilted rectangle) needs a perspective-correction or scanner app. Rotating a JPG re-encodes it, which adds a very small amount of compression; choose PNG output or 95%+ quality if you are rotating the same file repeatedly. Animated GIFs become a still frame. For PDF pages, use Rotate PDF Pages instead — it rotates pages without rasterizing them.

File Size Limits

Up to 50 images per batch and 60 MB per file. Browsers cap a single canvas at roughly 50 megapixels, so extremely large images can fail on phones; the tool reports this clearly instead of producing a blank file.

A 90° or 270° rotation swaps width and height; a custom angle makes the canvas larger than the original so the corners fit. A 4000 × 3000 photo straightened by 3° becomes roughly 4150 × 3200 pixels, which is normal — crop afterwards to return to a clean rectangle.

Who Should Use This Tool?

• Students: A student photographs handwritten notes in landscape and rotates all 20 pages upright before combining them with Images to PDF.
• Freelancers & Designers: A photographer flips selfie-camera shots horizontally so text on clothing reads correctly.
• Office Professionals: An archivist straightens slightly crooked scans by 1.5° before filing them.
• Developers: A developer fixes rotated fixture images for image-recognition tests without adding an EXIF library.

Why This Tool Beats the Alternatives

• Permanently fixes orientation in the file, not just in one viewer.
• Batch rotation for free, with no account or watermark.
• Custom-angle straightening that basic rotators don't offer.
• Private processing for personal photos and documents.
• Lets you pick transparent, white or black fill for straightened images.

Pro Tips

• Photos that look right on your phone but sideways elsewhere don't need rotating at all — re-save them once with the Image Converter and the orientation tag is baked into the pixels.
• Straighten using a horizon or a document edge: try 1°, check, and adjust in half-degree steps.
• After straightening, use Crop Image to trim the angled edges.
