How to rotate or flip an image
Load an image, turn or mirror it, and download the result at full resolution.
- 01
Load the image
Drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP, or click to browse. The preview updates as you turn and flip, before anything is saved.
- 02
Rotate in 90° steps, flip on either axis
Rotate left and right turn the image a quarter turn each time. Flip horizontal mirrors left to right; flip vertical mirrors top to bottom. Combine them as needed.
- 03
Choose the format and apply
The output starts in the same format as your file: PNG stays PNG, WebP stays WebP, everything else becomes JPEG. Change it in the menu if you like, then apply and download.
What happens to size and quality
The image is redrawn on a canvas at its full resolution. A quarter turn swaps the width and height, so a 4000 × 3000 landscape photo becomes 3000 × 4000 portrait. Nothing is cropped or scaled; the canvas is resized to fit the turned image exactly.
Quality depends on the output format. PNG is lossless, so a PNG rotated and saved as PNG is pixel-perfect. JPEG and WebP are saved at 92% quality, which means one extra round of compression. On a typical photo that's very hard to see, but repeating it many times on the same file slowly softens detail, so rotate once from the original rather than saving over and over.
Flip or rotate: which one fixes what
They look similar but do different jobs:
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Photo shows sideways | Rotate 90° left or right |
| Photo is upside down | Rotate 180° (two quarter turns) |
| Selfie text reads backwards | Flip horizontal |
| Scanned page came out mirrored | Flip horizontal |
| Reflection or symmetry effect for a design | Flip vertical or horizontal |
Flipping a photo with text, logos or a recognisable place in it makes it look subtly wrong, because everything is reversed. For a photo that's simply on its side, always rotate rather than flip.
Common fixes
Fixing a sideways phone photo
Phones sometimes store photos sideways with an orientation tag that other apps ignore. Rotating here bakes the right way up into the pixels.
Un-mirroring a front-camera selfie
Front cameras often save a mirror image, so text on a shirt or a sign reads backwards. A horizontal flip puts it right.
Preparing a scan for a PDF
Rotate scanned pages upright before combining them with Image to PDF, which doesn't rotate images itself.
Limits worth knowing
- Only 90° steps. To straighten a slightly tilted photo by a few degrees, use a photo editor's straighten tool.
- Saving a transparent PNG as JPEG fills the transparent areas with black, since JPEG has no transparency. Keep PNG for logos and cut-outs.
- Metadata such as EXIF date and GPS location isn't carried over to the new file.
- One image at a time.
