Rotate Image

How it works

1. Upload. Choose the image to rotate (up to 25 MB).
2. Pick rotation. Choose 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise, and optionally a horizontal or vertical flip.
3. Download. The rotated image downloads automatically in its original format.

About this tool

Rotate an image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise, and optionally mirror it horizontally or vertically. It fixes the everyday problem of a photo or scan that came out sideways or upside-down. The 90-degree turns are lossless — pixels are rearranged, not re-encoded — so a rotated JPG doesn't pick up extra compression. The output keeps the original format. As with every tool here: no watermark, no signup, processed in memory and discarded.

What people use it for

• Fix a photo that came out sideways from a phone
• Turn a scanned page that loaded upside-down
• Mirror an image horizontally for a layout
• Rotate a screenshot to the correct orientation
