Use the rotate buttons on each image or the "All images" controls. Click an image to rotate 180°, flip it, or straighten it at an exact angle.

3

Export and save

Click "Rotate & export", check the results at full size, then download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.

About This Tool

This tool fixes the orientation of photos and images. Besides 90° and 180° rotation and horizontal or vertical flips, you can straighten tilted photos at any angle in 0.1° steps, and choose whether to crop the corners or keep the whole image with margins. Process many images at once, including iPhone HEIC photos. Everything runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded.

Features

  • Batch rotate and flipRotate every image 90° or 180°, or flip them all, in one click, or adjust images one at a time.
  • Any angleStraighten tilted photos from -180° to 180° in 0.1° steps, cropping the corners or adding margins.
  • Saved as you see itPhotos that only look rotated because of an orientation tag (EXIF) are saved with their pixels turned, so every app shows them the right way up.
  • PrivacyEverything happens in your browser. Images are never uploaded, and metadata such as location is removed.

Use Cases

  • Fix phone photos that show up sideways or upside down
  • Turn photos of documents shot flat on a desk the right way up
  • Straighten tilted photos and horizons
  • Undo the mirror effect of selfies, or create a mirrored image
  • Re-save photos that appear sideways in some apps in the correct orientation

FAQ

Does rotating an image reduce its quality?
Rotating by 90° or 180° and flipping only rearrange pixels, so nothing gets blurry. JPG and WebP are re-saved, though, so there can be a tiny change (minimal at the default 100% quality); choose PNG for no loss at all. Rotating by any other angle redraws the pixels with interpolation, which softens fine detail slightly.
Why do my photos appear sideways on a computer or in some apps?
Phones and cameras sometimes record how the photo was held as an orientation tag (EXIF Orientation) instead of turning the pixels. Apps that ignore the tag show the photo sideways or upside down. Exported images from this tool have their pixels turned the way you see them, so they look the same in every app.
Can I rotate many images at once?
Yes. The "All images" buttons rotate every image 90° left or right or 180°, or flip them all. If the images face different ways, fix them one by one with the buttons on each image. You can save all results as a ZIP.
Can I straighten a tilted photo?
Yes. Click the image to view it large, then drag the "Fine angle" slider or type an angle (-180° to 180°, in 0.1° steps). Choose "Crop" for no margins or "Keep everything" to add margins in white, black or transparent.
What is the difference between flipping horizontally and vertically?
A horizontal flip swaps left and right like a mirror; a vertical flip swaps top and bottom. Doing both is the same as rotating 180°. If text in a selfie comes out reversed, a horizontal flip fixes it.
Can I rotate iPhone photos (HEIC)?
Yes. HEIC photos are read, rotated or flipped, and saved as JPG, PNG or WebP ("Original" saves them as JPG). The tool downloads the program it needs only when you add HEIC photos.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser and your images are never sent to a server.
Is metadata such as location kept?
No. Exported images contain no metadata such as the GPS location, date taken, camera model or orientation tag; the orientation is applied to the pixels themselves.
Is a transparent background (PNG) kept?
Yes, if you save as PNG or WebP. JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas become white. When you tilt an image and choose "Keep everything", the margins can be transparent with PNG or WebP.
How large can the images be?
Up to 50MB per file. Processing many very large images (tens of megapixels) at once can run out of memory on some devices; if that happens, process them in smaller groups.
