Rotate & Flip Image
Upload an image and apply rotation and/or mirroring transforms. You can rotate by 90, 180, or 270 degrees, flip horizontally (mirror), flip vertically, or combine rotation with flipping — all in a single operation.
This is useful for fixing photos taken in the wrong orientation, mirroring selfies, preparing images for print layouts that need a specific orientation, or creating mirrored versions for design work. The canvas dimensions are automatically adjusted when rotating by 90 or 270 degrees (width and height swap).
The transform runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
Does rotation lose image quality?▼
The image is redrawn onto a canvas and exported as PNG, so there's no lossy re-compression. The pixel data is transformed without quality loss, though the export is a new file rather than a metadata-only rotation.
Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle like 45 degrees?▼
This tool supports 90-degree increments only (0, 90, 180, 270). Arbitrary-angle rotation would require cropping or padding the canvas and is better handled by a full image editor.
What's the difference between rotate and flip?▼
Rotation turns the image around its center point (like turning a book). Flipping mirrors the image along an axis — horizontal flip mirrors left-to-right (like looking in a mirror), vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom (like an upside-down reflection).
