Rotate image online in 90-degree steps or by a custom angle using this free browser-based tool. Upload your file, set the rotation, and download the corrected image immediately. No account required and all processing happens in your browser without uploading to any external service.
The Image Flip and Rotate tool lets you flip images horizontally or vertically and rotate them in 90-degree increments or to any custom angle. Upload any JPEG, PNG, or WebP image and apply transforms using the control buttons: flip horizontal (mirror left-right), flip vertical (mirror top-bottom), rotate 90 degrees clockwise, rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise, and rotate 180 degrees. A custom angle input allows rotation to any degree. After each transform, a live preview shows the result. Download the transformed image as JPEG or PNG. All transforms use the HTML5 Canvas API and run in your browser with no server upload. This tool is useful for correcting image orientation, creating mirror images, and preparing images for specific layouts.
Image rotation and flipping are among the most common post-processing needs for photos taken with smartphones. Smartphones embed orientation information in the EXIF metadata of JPEG files, telling software the correct orientation for display. When this EXIF orientation flag is present and correctly read by the display software, the image appears right-side up regardless of how the phone was held. However, when images are processed, uploaded, or converted in ways that strip or ignore EXIF metadata, photos often appear rotated 90 degrees (portrait photos taken with the phone held upright) or in unexpected orientations. This tool reads and applies EXIF orientation data automatically when you upload an image, and then lets you make additional adjustments. Flipping horizontally (creating a mirror image) is useful when a photo was taken with the front-facing (selfie) camera, which mirrors the image horizontally by default on most phones. Many users prefer a non-mirrored version for portraits. Flipping is also useful for creating symmetrical compositions: take one half of an image and mirror it to create a perfectly symmetrical result. For custom angle rotation (angles other than 90-degree increments), the canvas is expanded to fit the rotated image without cropping, and the exposed corners are filled with a configurable background color (white or transparent for PNG output).
