An image rotator changes the visual orientation of a raster image by transforming its pixels (or applying equivalent canvas transforms) so the picture displays right-side up. Phone cameras often save photos with EXIF orientation tags; some apps ignore those tags and show sideways images. A rotator lets you physically rotate pixels to 90°, 180°, 270°, or any custom angle, and flip horizontally or vertically for mirrors or scanned pages.
This tool runs entirely in your browser: files are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers. You preview changes live, undo mistakes, and download PNG (lossless), JPEG, or WebP when finished.
The tool loads your image into an HTML canvas, applies translate/rotate/scale transforms for rotation and flip, then exports the canvas to a downloadable blob. Pixel rotation rewrites orientation so results work even when EXIF metadata is stripped.
Drag and drop or click to choose a JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or BMP file (max 10MB). The preview loads instantly in your browser.
Use quick buttons for ±90° or 180°, drag the slider for custom angles, or flip horizontal/vertical. Undo and redo let you try options safely.
The canvas preview updates in real time so you can confirm orientation before exporting—ideal for sideways phone photos and scans.
Save as PNG for lossless quality, or JPEG/WebP for smaller files. Processing stays local—nothing is uploaded.

Flip horizontal once to restore natural left/right appearanceFlip complements rotation when mirrors or scanner feeds invert the image.
Common real-world scenarios where this tool saves time.
Correct photos that appear sideways on a computer, in email, or on websites that ignore EXIF orientation.
Rotate receipts, contracts, and homework scans before archiving or combining into PDFs.
Match aspect ratios and orientation for Instagram, product listings, and blog hero images without Photoshop.
Rotate ID scans, medical images, or confidential screenshots locally—no cloud upload required.

Upload your image, choose ±90° or 180°, or use the angle slider. Preview updates live. Click Download PNG, JPEG, or WebP when done—all free, no account.
Rotation itself does not degrade pixels. PNG export is lossless. JPEG and WebP apply compression on export—use PNG if you need maximum fidelity.
Yes. Use Horizontal or Vertical flip buttons. Combine flip with rotation and use undo/redo to experiment.
No. Images are processed in your browser with canvas APIs. Files never leave your device during rotation.
JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP up to 10MB. For other formats, convert first with our image converter tool.
The tool rotates actual pixels, so the saved file displays correctly even when EXIF orientation tags are missing or stripped.
Yes. The interface is responsive—upload from your gallery, rotate with touch-friendly controls, and download on phone or tablet.
Batch rotation is not supported yet—upload one image at a time for instant preview and full-resolution download. For many files, use quick 90° rotate and PNG export per image.
This tool handles raster images. For PDF page rotation, use dedicated PDF tools in our PDF tools category.
All rotation and flipping runs in your browser. Images are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.
Preview matches export for the selected angle and flip state. Undo/redo tracks transformation history.
For everyday photo fixes—not professional print color management or RAW development.
