Overview

``text Image Rotator turns and flips your photos right in your browser. Rotate in 90° steps or to any angle with a slider, flip horizontally or vertically, auto-crop the transparent corners a free-angle rotation leaves behind, then export as PNG, JPG, or WebP — with nothing uploaded. ``

```text Sometimes a photo comes out sideways, upside down, or just needs a small tilt corrected. This rotator fixes that in seconds: spin it 90° at a time, drag a slider for any precise angle, or mirror it with a flip. It's ideal for straightening a crooked horizon or turning a portrait the right way up.

Everything runs in your browser, so your image is never uploaded. When you rotate to an off-square angle, the corners become transparent — you can auto-crop those away in one click — and then export in the format you need. ```

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I rotate an image 90 degrees?

Click the −90° button to turn it left or +90° to turn it right. Each click rotates the image a quarter turn, so two clicks flip it 180°. This is the quickest way to fix a photo that came in sideways or upside down, and a 90° turn keeps the image perfectly rectangular with no quality loss.

Can I rotate an image to any angle?

Yes. Drag the Free Angle slider to rotate to any angle from 0 to 360°, with the current degree shown as you go. This is useful for straightening a tilted horizon or setting a deliberate diagonal. Because the image is no longer square to the frame, the corners become transparent — you can trim them with Auto-Crop.

What's the difference between rotating and flipping?

Rotating turns the whole image around its centre. Flipping mirrors it — Flip Horizontal swaps left and right (like a mirror), and Flip Vertical swaps top and bottom. Flipping is handy for correcting a mirrored selfie or creating a reflection; rotating is for changing the orientation. You can combine both.

Why are there transparent corners after I rotate?

When you rotate to an angle that isn't a multiple of 90°, the rectangular image no longer fills the rectangular frame, so the corners are left empty (transparent). That's expected. Click "Auto-Crop Transparent Edges" to trim the image down to the largest clean rectangle, or keep them transparent by exporting as PNG or WebP.

What happens to the corners if I export as JPG?

JPG can't store transparency, so any transparent corners from an angled rotation are filled with a solid background colour instead of staying see-through. If you want to keep the corners transparent, export as PNG or WebP. If you'd rather not have corners at all, use Auto-Crop first, then export as JPG.

Does rotating reduce image quality?

A 90°, 180°, or 270° rotation is lossless — the pixels are just re-oriented. Rotating to an in-between angle re-samples the image slightly, which is normally imperceptible. Exporting as PNG or WebP preserves quality best; JPG re-encodes on save, so keep the quality slider high if you choose JPG.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The rotator runs entirely in your browser, so your image is processed on your own device and never uploaded. Nothing is stored once you close the tab. That keeps personal photos private and makes the tool fast, since there's no waiting for files to travel to and from a server.

How do I straighten a crooked photo?

Use the Free Angle slider and nudge it a few degrees until the horizon or edge looks level in the preview. A small rotation usually does it. Then click "Auto-Crop Transparent Edges" to remove the slanted corners, leaving a clean, straightened image ready to export.

What does Auto-Crop Transparent Edges do?

After an angled rotation, it automatically trims the image to the largest rectangle that contains no transparent corners. Instead of manually cropping, one click gives you a clean, edge-to-edge result. It's the easiest way to finish a straightening or diagonal rotation without leaving empty corners in the final file.

What formats can I export to?

You can export as PNG, JPG, or WebP, with a quality slider for the lossy formats. Choose PNG to keep transparency (including rotated corners), JPG for a small, widely compatible file, or WebP for the smallest web-friendly size. Pick the format before downloading.

Does the rotator work on a phone?

Yes. It has a mobile layout where the controls sit in a compact ribbon, so you can rotate, flip, and crop with touch on Android or iOS. Nothing is installed — it runs in the phone's browser — which is handy for quickly fixing a sideways photo before you share it.

Can I undo my changes?

Yes. Click "Reset Changes" to return the image to how it was when you uploaded it, so you can start the rotation over. You can also keep adjusting the angle slider and flips freely before exporting, since nothing is final until you download the result.
