About this tool
Photos taken with a rotated phone or camera sometimes display sideways because software ignores the orientation flag. This tool applies the rotation to the actual pixels, so the image displays correctly everywhere. Rotation by right angles moves pixels without resampling; flips mirror the image for tasks like correcting scanned film or preparing printable transfers.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does my photo show sideways in some apps but not others?
- The pixels were saved rotated and an EXIF orientation flag tells viewers to correct it — but not all software honors the flag. Rotating here rewrites the pixels so every application shows it correctly.
- Does rotating lose quality?
- 90°-step rotations rearrange pixels without resampling. PNG output is lossless; JPG output involves one high-quality re-encode.
- Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle like 15°?
- This tool covers right-angle rotation and flips, which handle orientation fixes. Arbitrary-angle rotation crops or adds background and is better done in an image editor.
