Rotate and Flip Image
Fix sideways photos, mirror a product shot or flip an image vertically in a few clicks. Rotate 90, 180 or 270 degrees and export as PNG, JPEG or WebP.
How to rotate and flip image
Three steps. No Photoshop skills needed.
Upload an image
Drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP file from your device.
Choose rotation or flip
Rotate by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, then flip horizontally or vertically if needed.
Save the result
Download the corrected image in the format you prefer.
Fix Image Direction Without Opening an Editor
Sideways photos happen all the time. A phone saves the orientation one way. A website reads it another way. Suddenly a perfectly good image is lying on its side. This tool gives you the basic fixes without making you open a full photo editor.
You can rotate an image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. You can also flip it horizontally or vertically. Horizontal flip helps with mirror images, product mockups and screenshots. Vertical flip is less common. It helps with scanned documents, reflections and layout work.
The tool redraws the image onto a new canvas, so the downloaded file has the corrected pixels baked in. That matters because some apps only store rotation as metadata. Other apps ignore that metadata and show the photo sideways again. A canvas export avoids that mess.
Use PNG if you want a clean export or need transparency. Use JPEG for regular photos and smaller files. Use WebP when the image is going on a website and you care about file size.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the rotate and flip image tool do?
It turns your image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. It can also mirror it horizontally or vertically. It is a quick fix for sideways photos, mirrored selfies, scanned pages and product shots facing the wrong way.
How do I rotate an image online?
Upload the image, choose 90, 180 or 270 degrees, then apply the change. The result is redrawn into a new file. That saves the rotation into the actual pixels.
How do I flip an image horizontally?
Upload your image, turn on Horizontal under the flip controls, then apply changes. Use this when a photo is mirrored or when a product needs to face the other direction in a layout.
Why does my phone photo look sideways on some websites?
Many phones store rotation in EXIF metadata instead of rotating the pixels. Some websites read that metadata, others ignore it. Exporting a rotated copy fixes the pixels directly, so the image should display correctly in more places.
Will rotating a photo reduce quality?
A 90 degree rotation itself does not need to harm the image. The export format matters more. PNG keeps things clean. JPEG may recompress the image. WebP is useful when you want a smaller web file.
What is the difference between rotate and flip?
Rotate turns the whole image around a center point. Flip mirrors the image, like looking at it in a mirror. A horizontal flip swaps left and right. A vertical flip swaps top and bottom.
Can I rotate a PNG with transparency?
Yes. Choose PNG output if you want to keep transparency. If you export as JPEG, transparent areas will become solid because JPEG does not support alpha transparency.
Can I use this for scanned documents?
Yes. It is useful for scans that came in sideways or upside down. If the scan also has extra borders, rotate it here first, then use the crop tool to trim the edges.
