How to rotate or flip an image
- Pick an image.
- Use Rotate left/right (90° steps) or Flip to mirror it.
- Download the fixed image as PNG.
Rotate vs flip — what's the difference?
Rotating turns the whole image around its center (fixes sideways phone photos). Flipping mirrors it — horizontal flip is what you need when text appears backwards in a mirror selfie.
Benefits
- Fixes orientation or mirrors an image in a couple of clicks.
- Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- Handy for photos that import sideways or need mirroring.
- Free and instant.
Limitations to know
- Saving re-encodes the image, which can cause a tiny, usually invisible quality change.
- Rotating by an arbitrary angle (not 90°) adds empty corners you may need to crop.
- It changes orientation only, not resolution or file size.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Flipping an image that contains text or logos, which then read backwards.
- Rotating repeatedly and re-saving, which slowly softens a JPG.
- Forgetting to crop the empty corners after a non-90° rotation.
Alternatives
To trim the result use the Image Cropper; to change its size use the Image Resizer.

Is my image uploaded?
No — everything runs in your browser.
Does it lose quality?
No — 90° rotations and flips are lossless pixel operations.
