Rotate image
That photo that came out sideways or upside down is fixed in one click. Rotate the image by 90°, 180° or 270° right in your browser. The rotation happens on your device — the file is never sent to a server.

How to rotate an image in 3 steps
Add the image
Drag the image (PNG, JPG or WEBP) onto the upload area or click to pick it. The file is read only in your device's memory.
Choose the angle
Select 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise and click process.
Download the PNG
Download the rotated image. No copy is kept anywhere.
When to rotate an image
Photos taken with a phone held vertically sometimes show up sideways on a computer. Scans and screenshots can also come out in the wrong orientation. Rotating fixes it without redoing the photo.
Use 90° or 270° to fix sideways images (width and height swap places) and 180° for upside-down images.
Rotating an image is different from rotating a PDF
Here you rotate an image (PNG, JPG or WEBP). To turn the pages of a PDF document, use the rotate PDF tool, which keeps the file in PDF format.
Each tool is specialized for its format, to deliver the best result in each case.
The photo stays on your device
Rotation is done in the browser; the image is not uploaded.
Rotating by 90° degrades nothing
Rotating in multiples of 90° is the only image transformation that loses no quality: the pixels merely change position, none is recalculated or discarded. The original sharpness is exactly preserved.
At 90° and 270°, width and height swap — a 4000×3000 photo becomes 3000×4000. Worth remembering when the image has to fit a specific dimension.
Rotating does not fix a crooked photo
If your scan came out tilted by 3° or 5°, this tool will not fix it: it works only in multiples of 90°. Slight skew needs free rotation, which recalculates every pixel and always costs a little sharpness.
For a photo that came out mirrored — reversed text, common in selfies — the answer is flipping, not rotating. They are different operations.
Use cases
- Fix a photo that came out sideways
- Turn an upside-down image right side up
- Adjust the orientation of a scan or screenshot
- Prepare the image in the right orientation before posting
- Straighten a photo before placing it in a document
Frequently asked questions
Does rotating lose quality?
No. Rotating by 90°, 180° or 270° only repositions the pixels, without degrading the image.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. The output is PNG, which preserves the transparent background.
Is it the same as rotating a PDF?
No. Here you rotate an image. For PDF pages, use the rotate PDF tool.
General questions about the site
- Is it free?

- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes, straight from your Android or iPhone browser.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. No software, no extensions.
- Is my file sent to a server?
- On tools marked as local, no — the file never leaves your device. Only three tools use a server, and each says so on its own page.
