Full resolution kept — 90° steps are perfectly lossless; fine straightening re-samples once at your original pixel dimensions.

How to rotate an image

  1. Drop your image onto the dashed box above, or click it to browse your files.
  2. Press 90° left/right or 180° — or drag the straighten slider to level a crooked photo degree by degree.
  3. Choose PNG or JPG and press Download Image.

When should you rotate instead of re-shooting?

Almost always. Phone cameras often save photos sideways when the orientation sensor misfires — a 90° rotation fixes it without touching quality. Scanned documents land upside down; 180° puts them right. And horizons in landscape shots are rarely level: nudging the straighten slider by a degree or two makes a photo look professionally composed. Re-shooting the moment is impossible; rotating takes two seconds.

Does rotating reduce image quality?

Rotations in 90° steps only rearrange pixels, so they are completely lossless — do them as many times as you like. Fine straightening (for example 2.5°) re-samples the image once, which can soften it very slightly; the tool works at your full original resolution to keep that effect minimal. Downloading as PNG avoids any additional compression loss.

What is the difference between rotate and flip?

Rotate turns the image around its center — 90° right moves the top edge to the right side. Flip mirrors it, like looking in a mirror. A rotated photo keeps text readable (just turned); a flipped photo mirrors text backwards. Use our flip tool when you need a mirror effect instead.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rotate an image 90 degrees?

Upload your image above and press "90° right" or "90° left". The preview updates instantly, and 90° rotations are completely lossless — no quality is lost no matter how many times you rotate.

Can I straighten a crooked photo by a few degrees?

Yes. Drag the straighten slider anywhere from −45° to +45° in half-degree steps. It is ideal for leveling tilted horizons in landscape shots or slightly skewed scans.

Will rotating make my image blurry?

No — 90°, 180°, and 270° rotations only rearrange pixels, so they are pixel-perfect. Fine straightening re-samples once at full resolution, which keeps any softening minimal, especially when you download as PNG.

What is the difference between rotate and flip?

Rotate turns the image around its center; text stays readable, just turned. Flip mirrors the image left-to-right or top-to-bottom, like a mirror, which reverses text. This page handles rotation; use our flip tool for mirroring.

What formats can I download?

PNG (lossless, best quality) or JPG (smaller file, great for sharing). JPGs are exported at high quality, and transparent areas are filled white since JPG has no transparency.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Rotation runs entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device, and no signup is required.
