Rotate by any angle, flip horizontal or vertical, fix EXIF orientation — with live preview and batch processing. Zero quality loss.
Drag & drop or browse for JPG, PNG, WEBP or GIF images — up to 20 at once.
Use 90°/180° quick buttons or drag the angle slider for precise custom rotation.
Optionally flip, choose background fill, canvas mode, format and quality.
Download individual rotated images or grab all in a single ZIP archive.
Most image viewers can only rotate by 90° at a time. Our tool lets you rotate to any custom angle from 0 to 360 degrees, with full control over background fill. All rotation is done server-side by ImageMagick for pixel-perfect output, with no quality loss and no software to install on your phone or computer.
Photos from smartphones are often stored sideways with an EXIF orientation tag. Our tool reads and applies EXIF orientation automatically — so you always get a correctly oriented image.
Quick 90° and 180° rotation buttons handle the most common case – a photo taken sideways or upside down – but many real-world images are tilted at an angle that doesn't line up with a clean 90-degree turn. A scanned document that went through the scanner slightly crooked, a photo of a whiteboard taken at a slight angle, or a horizon line that isn't quite level in a landscape shot all need a custom angle correction, sometimes just 2 or 3 degrees, to look properly straight. Our slider lets you dial in any angle from 0 to 360 degrees with fine control, and a live preview shows the result before you commit, so you can nudge the angle back and forth until the horizon or text lines up exactly straight. Because the rotation happens through ImageMagick on the server, the output stays sharp at any angle rather than showing the soft, blurry edges that some basic in-browser rotation tools produce.
Rotation turns an image around its center point, like spinning a photograph on a table – useful for correcting sideways or upside-down orientation, or straightening a tilted horizon. Flipping, on the other hand, creates a mirror image either horizontally (left becomes right) or vertically (top becomes bottom), which is the correct fix when a photo was captured through a mirror, scanned with the original face-down, or simply needs a mirrored version for a design layout. The two operations solve different problems: a photo that's sideways needs rotation, while a photo that reads backwards – like reversed text on a scanned page – needs a flip instead. Our tool supports both in the same interface, so you can combine a rotation and a flip on the same image without exporting and re-uploading between steps.
Phone photos taken in portrait or landscape sometimes get saved with incorrect orientation metadata, especially after being downloaded from messaging apps or cloud storage that strip or mishandle EXIF data – manually rotating fixes this instantly even when automatic orientation detection fails. Scanned documents and book pages frequently come out sideways or upside down depending on how the page was placed on the scanner bed, and batch-rotating a whole folder of scans at once saves significant time compared to fixing each page individually in a different app. Photographers and content creators rotate images to correct a tilted horizon line or to intentionally angle a photo for creative effect before publishing. Office workers preparing scanned forms or ID documents for upload often need a quick straighten-and-rotate pass before the file is accepted by a portal that rejects sideways or skewed scans.
Once your image is correctly oriented, you might want to trim it down further – Crop Image lets you remove any extra background that appeared after a custom-angle rotation with a fill color. If the rotated file needs to be a specific size, Resize Image handles exact pixel dimensions or platform presets. And if the file size grew after rotation, Compress Image brings it back down without affecting the orientation you just fixed.
Most smartphone cameras don't actually rotate the pixel data when you take a photo holding the phone sideways – instead, they save the image in its raw sensor orientation and write a small EXIF orientation tag telling viewers how to display it correctly. Most modern apps and browsers read this tag automatically, but some older software, certain upload scripts, and a number of image-processing libraries ignore it entirely, which is why a photo that looks perfectly upright on your phone can suddenly appear sideways or upside down once it's uploaded to a website, sent through an email client, or processed by a tool that strips metadata. Our rotator reads this EXIF tag first and applies the correct orientation automatically before you even touch the rotation controls, so the starting point is always right. If a photo still looks wrong after that automatic correction – which can happen if the EXIF data itself was already incorrect, or if the photo was edited and re-saved by another app that dropped the tag – the manual rotation buttons and angle slider let you fix it directly, and the corrected image is saved with the rotation baked into the actual pixels rather than relying on a metadata tag that might get lost again later.
