Image Rotator

Rotate images by 90, 180 or 270 degrees and save them in the same format.

How to Use Image Rotator

  1. Upload an image.
  2. Choose 90° clockwise, 180°, or 270° (which turns it 90° counter-clockwise). The preview updates straight away.
  3. Click download. The rotated copy is saved as, for example, photo-rotated.jpg.

Why some photos look sideways

Phones often save photos the way the sensor sees them and add a note (EXIF orientation) saying which way is up. Your gallery reads the note, but some websites and programs ignore it, so the picture appears sideways. Your browser applies that note when it opens the image, and the rotated copy you download has the pixels themselves turned and no orientation note, so it shows the same way everywhere.

What you get

Rotating by 90° or 270° swaps the width and height. The image is saved in the format you uploaded: JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG with any transparency kept, and WebP stays WebP. Rotation by right angles doesn't crop or stretch anything.

Key Features & Practical Use Cases

  • Fixing a phone photo that shows up sideways on a website or in an email.
  • Turning a scanned page or receipt the right way up.
  • Rotating a landscape picture into portrait for a poster or phone wallpaper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which option turns the picture left?

270°. Turning 270° clockwise is the same as 90° counter-clockwise.

Can I rotate by a custom angle, like 15°?

No, only quarter turns and half turns, which never need cropping.

Will rotating reduce quality?

PNG stays lossless. JPG is re-saved at 92% quality, which is very close to the original.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The rotation happens in your browser.
