Image Rotate

Image Rotate turns a JPG, PNG or WebP image by 90 degrees to the left or right, or upside down, and saves it in its original format. It is the quick fix for a sideways phone photo or a scanned page that came out the wrong way. The image is rotated in your browser and never uploaded.

How to rotate an image

1. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image, or drag it onto the page.
2. Click rotate left or rotate right; each click turns the image 90 degrees. Click twice to turn it upside down.
3. When the preview looks right, download the rotated image.

Why photos show up sideways

Phones save photos the way the sensor captured them and add an orientation note (EXIF data) saying how to display them. Some websites, email programs and older software ignore that note, so the photo appears sideways even though it looks fine on your phone. Rotating the actual pixels, as this tool does, fixes it everywhere.

Good to know

• The width and height swap when you rotate by 90 degrees, so a 4000 × 3000 photo becomes 3000 × 4000.
• The image keeps its format: a PNG stays PNG with its transparency, a JPG stays JPG.
• To straighten a slightly tilted horizon by a few degrees, use a photo editor; this tool rotates in 90-degree steps.

When it comes in handy

• Fixing sideways or upside-down photos before posting or emailing them.
• Turning scanned pages and receipts upright before putting them in a PDF with JPG to PDF.
• Making screenshots portrait or landscape for slides and documents.
