Rotate & Flip Images Online Free
Rotate images 90, 180, or 270 degrees, flip horizontally or vertically, or apply a custom angle. Browser-side workflows run locally when that mode is available.

Image Rotation Features
Everything you need to orient your images perfectly
Rotation & Flip Options
Rotate images 90 degrees left, 90 degrees right, or 180 degrees with a single click. Canvas dimensions automatically swap for 90/270 degree rotations so nothing gets cropped.
Flip images horizontally to create a mirror effect, or flip vertically to turn them upside down. Combine with rotation for any orientation you need.
Enter any angle from -360 to 360 degrees for fine-grained rotation. The background color picker lets you choose what fills the exposed corners.
Output & Download
Rotation and flip operations use browser-side Canvas processing when supported. That mode avoids server upload and supports a privacy-aware workflow.
Upload multiple images at once. Preview each file individually and download each one with its own rotation and flip settings applied.
Key Takeaways
- Every image is decoded and rotated directly in your browser, so your fileare processed on your device.
- Right-angle turns of 90, 180, or 270 degrees are completely lossless and never crop, making them the safest choice for fixing sideways phone photos and scans.
- Custom angles expand the canvas to a bounding box and fill the exposed corners with your chosen background color, so set that color before downloading or crop the margins afterward.
- Choose PNG or WebP output to preserve transparency, since JPG (saved at quality 0.92) flattens any clear areas onto the background color.
How to Rotate and Flip an Image Online
Load your images
Drag your files onto the drop zone or click Choose Images to browse. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and AVIF are accepted, and you can add several files at once. Each image is decoded directly in your browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
Apply rotation and flip
Use 90 Left, 90 Right, or 180 for quick quarter and half turns, or type a value from -360 to 360 in the custom angle field and click Apply. Add a horizontal or vertical flip to mirror the image. Each adjustment redraws the live canvas preview immediately.
Pick a format and download
In the file list, choose PNG, JPG, or WebP per image, then click Download. The tool renders the transform at full native resolution and saves the result with a _rotated suffix. Repeat for each file, since every image keeps its own rotation and flip settings.
Right-Angle Turns vs Custom Angles
The tool handles two kinds of rotation differently. Multiples of 90 degrees keep every pixel intact, while arbitrary angles need a larger canvas and a background fill. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right approach for photos versus design layouts.
| Aspect | 90 / 180 / 270 degrees | Custom angle (e.g. 45) |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel quality | Lossless, no interpolation | Slight softening on diagonal edges |
| Canvas size | Width and height swap to fit exactly | Expands to a bounding box that holds the tilt |
| Exposed corners | None, image fills the canvas | Filled with the chosen background color |
| Background color setting | Has no visible effect | Determines the corner fill |
| Best for | Fixing sideways photos and scans | Straightening tilts, design and collage work |
| Cropping | Never crops | Never crops, adds margin instead |
Which Setting Should You Use
Sideways phone photo
Click 90 Right or 90 Left until the image stands upright. Because right-angle turns are lossless, this is the safest way to permanently fix EXIF orientation issues that some apps ignore.
Mirror or reverse a subject
Use Horizontal flip to mirror left to right, or Vertical flip to turn the image upside down. Flips combine with any rotation, so you can reach any of the eight orientations.
Straighten a tilted horizon
Type a small custom angle such as 2 or -3 and click Apply. Set the background color to match the surrounding area, since the rotation adds filled corners that you may crop later in another tool.
Keep transparency
Choose PNG or WebP as the output format. JPG flattens any transparent areas onto the background color, so avoid it when you need a clear or alpha background preserved.
Common Problems and Fixes
My file would not load
Only JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, and AVIF are accepted, and the check uses the file extension. Rename a mislabeled file to its real extension, or confirm the image is not corrupted before trying again.
White corners appear after rotating
That is the background fill for custom angles, since the tilted image cannot cover the rectangular canvas. Change the Background color before downloading, or use PNG output and crop the margin afterward. Right-angle turns never show this fill.
Only one image changed
Rotation and flip apply to the image currently shown in the canvas. Click Preview on another file in the list to select it, then make your adjustments. Each file stores its own settings independently.
JPG output looks slightly soft or lost transparency
JPG is saved at quality 0.92 and cannot store transparency, so clear areas become the background color. Switch the per-file format selector to PNG for lossless output, or WebP for a smaller file that keeps an alpha channel.
