How to rotate or flip an image
- Select Choose files or drop your images on the box. You can add many.
- Choose a rotation: 90° clockwise, 180°, or 90° counter-clockwise. Tick Flip horizontally or Flip vertically to mirror the picture.
- Select Download, or Download all (ZIP).
Your settings apply to every file you add next, so set them first for a batch, then drop the files.
When this helps
Photos sometimes come out sideways because a camera stored a rotation flag that some apps ignore. Scans can land upside down. Selfies are often mirrored, and flipping them back makes text readable. Rotating by exactly 90 degrees is lossless in principle, but image files are re-saved here, so the tool uses a high quality setting of 95 percent for JPG and WebP.
PNG output is lossless. The result keeps the same format as your input, and formats the browser cannot save, such as AVIF or GIF, are saved as PNG. Metadata such as location is dropped as a side effect of redrawing.
Which direction is clockwise
Clockwise means the way a clock’s hands move: the top of the image moves to the right. If your photo is lying on its left side, rotate it 90° clockwise. If it is on its right side, rotate it 90° counter-clockwise.
Tips
- Rotated the wrong way? Run the file again with the opposite option.
- After rotating, trim the edges with the crop tool.
- Resize large photos with the image resizer, or shrink them with the image compressor.
- Combine scans into one PDF with images to PDF after fixing their direction.
Batch fixes
Dropping a whole folder of scans is the quickest way to straighten them. If only some files need turning, process them in groups with different settings. Photos from older cameras and some scanners often arrive with a rotation flag that viewers disagree about, which is why the same file can look correct on one device and sideways on another. Saving the pixels in the right orientation removes that problem for good.
