Rotate image
Some photos look fine on your phone and come out sideways everywhere else. This turns the picture itself rather than leaving a note asking the viewer to turn it, so it looks right in every program. Quarter turns and flips cost no quality at all.
How to use it
- 1 Add the images you want to turn.
- 2 Choose a quarter turn left or right, a half turn, or type in any angle.
- 3 Mirror horizontally or vertically if you also need the image flipped.
- 4 Download the corrected files.

Questions about rotate image
Why does my photo look sideways in some apps but not others?
Cameras often store the image in landscape and add an EXIF orientation tag telling the viewer to turn it. Software that reads the tag shows it correctly and software that ignores it does not. Rotating the pixels here removes the ambiguity, so the file looks the same everywhere.
Does rotating lose quality?
Rotating by 90, 180 or 270 degrees is a lossless rearrangement of pixels. An arbitrary angle is not: the pixels have to be resampled onto a new grid, which softens fine detail slightly and adds empty corners you can fill or crop away.
Can I rotate a batch of photos at once?
Yes. Add the whole set, pick the rotation, and every file in the queue is turned the same way, which is the usual case for a folder of photos taken with the camera held one way.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The whole thing runs inside the browser tab you already have open. Your file is read straight from your own disk, worked on there, and handed back as a download. Nothing is sent anywhere, nothing is stored, and there is no account and no queue.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no server-side limit because there is no server. The practical ceiling is your device memory, since the file and its output both have to fit in the tab. Files up to a few hundred megabytes are usually fine on a desktop machine, while phones and older laptops will struggle sooner. If a large file fails, close other tabs and try again.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded once. The engine is cached by the browser, so you can turn off your connection, reload the page and keep working. That is a useful side effect of doing the processing locally rather than a separate offline mode you have to enable.
