How to rotate or flip an image
Quick answer
To rotate an image, drop it into the Rotate and flip tool, press the rotate left or right button until the preview looks right, and press Apply. The same buttons mirror a picture horizontally or vertically.
Steps
- Open the Rotate and flip tool and drop in your JPG, PNG or WebP files.
- Use the buttons to rotate left or right, or to flip. The preview shows the result.
- Press Apply.
- Download each file, or all of them as a ZIP.
Rotate or flip: which one?
Rotating turns the whole picture by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, which fixes a photo that came out sideways or upside down. Flipping mirrors it, which is how you correct text that reads backwards from a selfie camera.
You can combine both. Rotate first, then flip, and watch the preview until it looks right.
Many pictures at once
The same change is applied to every picture you add, so a whole batch of sideways photos can be fixed in one go. PNG stays lossless. JPG and WebP are saved again at high quality.
Check the preview first: it shows the first picture only, so a batch should be pictures that need the same turn.
Tips
If only some of your photos are sideways, rotate those in one batch and the rest in another. A batch gets exactly one change, so mixed pictures need separate runs.
Keep your original files. Rotating by 90 degrees is reversible, but saving a JPG again always changes it very slightly, so it is better not to repeat it many times.
Common questions
How do I rotate a photo that is sideways?
Drop it in, press rotate left or right until it is upright, then press Apply and download it.
What is the difference between rotate and flip?
Rotate turns the picture around. Flip mirrors it, like looking at it in a mirror.
Does rotating reduce quality?
PNG stays lossless. JPG and WebP are saved again at high quality, so any change is very small.
