Rotate & Flip Image — 90°, 180°, Mirror, In-Browser
Fix photo orientation, straighten a crooked horizon or mirror a picture with our free rotate and flip tool. Turn images 90° left or right, 180°, or by any custom angle, and flip horizontally or vertically. Processing happens entirely in your browser, so your images never leave your computer.
The rotation is written into the pixels, not left to a hidden orientation flag. That fixes the familiar annoyance where a photo looks right on your phone and lands on its side once uploaded — the site on the other end ignored the flag. For small straightening angles you can crop to the largest rectangle that fits, so no empty corners appear, or keep the whole picture with transparent (or, for JPG, white) corners. The preview is drawn by the same code that makes the download, so what you see is what you save.
How to use Rotate & Flip Image
- Upload an image (JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, GIF or AVIF).
- Turn it 90° left or right or 180°, or drag the custom angle slider (type an exact value if you need one).
- For angles that are not a multiple of 90°, choose whether to crop the empty corners or keep the whole picture.
- Flip horizontally or vertically if needed, check the preview, and click Download.
Features
- Any angle — 90° steps plus a custom angle to a tenth of a degree for straightening.
- Crop to fill or keep everything — Automatic largest-rectangle crop, or transparent corners.
- Flip horizontal (mirror) or vertical — Combined with rotation in a single step.
- Exact preview — Drawn by the same code as the download.
- 100% browser-based — No server uploads, fully private processing.
- Keeps the format — JPG, PNG and WebP are saved as they came; BMP, GIF and AVIF are saved as PNG.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I rotate an image 90 degrees online for free?
Upload your image, click "90° right" (or "90° left"), and click Download. The entire process takes seconds, works directly in your browser, and requires no account or software installation.
What is the difference between flipping and mirroring an image?
Flipping and mirroring are the same operation. A horizontal flip (mirror) reverses the image left-to-right, creating a reflection effect. A vertical flip reverses it top-to-bottom. Both are exact pixel mirrors.
Can I rotate and flip an image at the same time?
Yes. Our tool lets you apply both rotation and a flip simultaneously. All transformations are combined and applied in a single step for maximum efficiency.
Why does my photo look right on my phone but sideways after uploading?
Because phone cameras usually store the picture in the sensor's orientation and add an EXIF flag saying how to turn it. Apps that honour the flag look right; anything that ignores it — many upload forms, older software, some email clients — shows the raw orientation. Rotating here bakes the correct orientation into the pixels so the flag stops mattering.
Does rotating reduce image quality?
PNG output is lossless, so PNG files lose nothing. JPG and WebP are re-encoded once at 92% quality, which is visually identical for photos; repeating it many times on the same file would eventually show, so rotate from the original rather than from an earlier export. Custom angles also resample the pixels, which softens very fine detail slightly.
