Image Rotator / Flipper

Upload an image and rotate or mirror it with one click.

How to use the Image Rotator / Flipper

  1. Upload the image you want to rotate or flip.
  2. Click Rotate Left/Right to turn the image 90° at a time, or Flip Horizontal/Vertical to mirror it.
  3. Combine multiple transformations if needed — each click applies on top of the current result.
  4. Click "Download Image" once you're happy with the orientation.

About the Image Rotator / Flipper

Images end up in the wrong orientation more often than you'd expect — a photo taken with a phone held sideways, a scanned document that came out upside down, or a graphic that needs to be mirrored for a specific design layout. Most photo viewers let you rotate the display temporarily, but that doesn't fix the file itself for sharing or embedding elsewhere.

This tool applies rotation and flipping directly to the image using canvas transformations, permanently baking the new orientation into the downloaded file rather than just changing how it's displayed. Rotating moves the image 90 degrees at a time in either direction, while flipping mirrors it horizontally (left-right) or vertically (top-bottom) — and these can be combined and applied repeatedly to reach any orientation you need.

It's used to fix sideways or upside-down photos from a scanner or phone camera, mirror a graphic for a design that requires a flipped version (like a decal or print layout that will be reversed), and correct orientation before sharing an image so viewers don't need to rotate it themselves. Because every transformation happens locally using canvas, your image is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate by an angle other than 90 degrees, like 45?+
This tool supports 90-degree rotation increments and horizontal/vertical flipping; for arbitrary angle rotation, a more advanced image editor would be needed.
What's the difference between rotating and flipping?+
Rotating turns the entire image around its center by 90 degrees, changing its orientation while keeping it looking the same, just turned. Flipping creates a mirror image — left becomes right (horizontal flip) or top becomes bottom (vertical flip).
Can I combine rotation and flipping?+
Yes, apply as many transformations as you like in any order — each one applies on top of the current state of the image.
Does this reduce image quality?+
No, rotating and flipping simply rearrange existing pixels without any compression or quality loss (aside from the final export encoding, which uses high-quality settings).
