About Rotate and flip image

Turn a picture 90 degrees left or right, or mirror it horizontally or vertically. Phone photos sometimes appear sideways because of an orientation flag, and selfies often need flipping back. Rotating by exact quarter turns loses no quality, unlike arbitrary angles.

How to use Rotate and flip image

  1. Add the picture you want to turn.
  2. Click rotate left or right, or flip horizontally or vertically.
  3. Check the preview and save the new picture.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between rotating and flipping?

Rotating turns the whole picture around its centre, while flipping creates a mirror image along one axis. Text will read backwards after a flip but stay readable after a rotation.

Why is my phone photo sideways after I open it elsewhere?

Phones often store the orientation as a note instead of turning the pixels. Rotating here and saving writes the picture the right way up, so it displays correctly everywhere.

Can I rotate by an angle that is not 90 degrees?

This tool turns in 90 degree steps only. For a small tilt, such as a crooked horizon, use the straighten tool, which has a fine angle slider.
