    About the Rotate & Flip Image tool

    Phone cameras often save photos sideways and rely on a hidden orientation tag to display them correctly, which some websites ignore. This tool reads that tag, applies it to the actual pixels, and then applies your rotation, so the image looks right everywhere.

    Rotating by 90-degree steps and flipping are lossless operations on the pixels. JPG files are saved at high quality, PNG files losslessly, and WebP files stay WebP.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why does my photo appear sideways on some websites?

    Many phones store the photo in one direction plus an orientation tag. Sites that ignore the tag show it sideways. Running it through this tool bakes the correct orientation into the pixels.

    What is the difference between flipping and rotating?

    Rotating turns the image around its center. Flipping mirrors it: horizontal flip swaps left and right (like a selfie mirror), vertical flip swaps top and bottom.

    Can I rotate multiple images at once?

    Yes. The rotation and flip you choose are applied to every image you add, and you can download them all as a ZIP.

    Does rotating reduce quality?

    PNG images stay pixel-perfect. JPG images are re-saved at high quality (92), which is visually identical to the original for nearly all photos.
