How do I rotate an image?

Drop one or more images on the page, then click the rotate-left or rotate-right button on any thumbnail to rotate it 90 degrees. The preview rotates live. Click Download to save the rotated image to your device.

Can I rotate multiple images at the same time?

Yes. Drop a batch and use 'Rotate all +90°', 'Rotate all -90°', or 'Rotate all 180°' to apply the same rotation across the whole set. Individual per-card rotation still works on top of the batch.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Rotation runs entirely in your browser using the 2D canvas API. The image bytes never leave your device - you can verify this in the browser's network panel. The tool works offline once the page has loaded.

What formats can I rotate?

Input: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF (decoded locally), GIF (single frame), BMP, and SVG. Output: keep the original format with Auto, or convert to PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Does rotating reduce quality?

PNG and WebP are lossless on re-encode, so rotations preserve the original quality byte-equivalently. JPG re-encodes lossy at quality 92, which is high enough that most users can't tell the difference. For zero re-encode loss on JPG, output PNG instead.

Can I keep transparency?

Yes. PNG and WebP preserve the alpha channel. JPG doesn't support transparency, so when outputting JPG we fill with the background colour you pick (default white).

Why is my JPG rotated to be sideways in some apps but not others?

Many camera JPGs encode the actual pixels right-side-up plus an EXIF 'Orientation' flag. Some apps respect that flag, others render the literal pixels. After rotating here, the output reflects the new pixel orientation directly so it looks correct everywhere.

Is there a maximum image size?

No server-side limit - nothing is uploaded. Extremely large images (over 8K or 50 MP) can stress browser memory, especially on phones. If a batch feels slow, process it in smaller groups.

Does it work on iPhone, iPad, or Android?

Yes. The interface is responsive, rotate buttons are touch-sized, and any modern mobile browser (Safari 16.4+, Chrome on Android) is supported. HEIC photos straight from an iPhone's Photos app are decoded locally and rotate without any conversion step.

Subformer

Rotate & Flip Image

Rotate one image or a whole batch in 90° steps, mirror horizontally or vertically, and download. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC straight from your iPhone, GIF, BMP, and SVG - all in your browser, no upload.

Files never leave your browser. All processing runs on your device.

Drop images here, or click to browse

JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, GIF, BMP, SVG - rotate in 90° steps.

How it works

Four steps from a sideways photo to a fixed file.

1. Drop your images
Drag images anywhere on the page or click the drop zone. JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, GIF, BMP, and SVG all work.
2. Rotate
Click the rotate buttons on any card for 90° steps. Use the Rotate-All controls to apply the same rotation across the whole batch.
3. Pick format
Keep the original format with Auto, or convert to PNG / JPG / WebP. For JPG output, pick the background colour that fills any transparent corners.
4. Download
Save each rotated image to your device. The whole batch downloads in sequence with a brief gap so the browser doesn't drop files.

When you need to rotate an image

Phone cameras and scanner apps record orientation through an EXIF flag. Some apps respect that flag and rotate on display; others render the literal pixels and your photo comes out sideways. Web platforms in particular are inconsistent - the same upload can look correct on one website and sideways on the next.

This tool rewrites the actual pixels so the orientation is baked in. JPG and WebP re-encode at quality 92 (~ visually identical); PNG and WebP-lossless preserve every byte. HEIC photos from an iPhone are decoded locally so you don't need a separate conversion step.

Everything runs in your browser via the 2D canvas API. Drop the file, click rotate, download - nothing is sent to a server, which matters for client photos, ID scans, and anything else you'd rather not hand off to a third party.

Under the hood

No server, no upload, no image-processing service. The rotation runs on standard browser APIs plus one WebAssembly module for the format your browser cannot read natively.

Canvas 2D API: Applies the transform and re-encodes the result. Rotation in 90 degree steps is a lossless pixel remap - the encoder is the only step that can lose quality, which is why PNG output is byte-perfect.
WebAssembly HEIC decoding: HEIC and HEIF files from an iPhone are decoded on your device. No browser ships a native decoder for that format, so a WebAssembly module handles it locally rather than shipping the photo to a conversion server.
Browser image codecs: JPEG, PNG, and WebP encoding use the codecs already built into your browser. That keeps the page small and means output matches what your browser produces anywhere else.
File and Blob APIs: Files you drop are read into memory as Blobs and handed straight back as downloads. Nothing is written to a server and nothing persists after you close the tab.
