About Image Rotation & Flipping

Rotating and flipping images is essential for correcting orientation issues. Photos taken in portrait mode often appear sideways when uploaded to websites. This tool lets you fix that instantly.

Horizontal flipping creates a mirror image — useful for fixing selfie mirrors, creating symmetrical designs, or adjusting composition. Vertical flipping inverts the image upside down, which is useful for reflection effects.

The rotation uses the Canvas API for lossless transformation. Unlike re-encoding, rotation simply rearranges pixel data, so there's zero quality loss regardless of how many times you rotate.

  • Prepare images for print layouts requiring specific orientation

Frequently Asked Questions

Does rotating an image reduce quality?

No. Our tool uses Canvas-based rotation which rearranges pixels without re-encoding, resulting in zero quality loss.

What is the difference between rotate and flip?

Rotation turns the image around its center (90°, 180°, 270°). Flipping mirrors the image along an axis — horizontal flip creates a mirror image, vertical flip turns it upside down.

Can I rotate by a custom angle like 45 degrees?

This tool supports 90° increments for pixel-perfect rotation. Custom angle rotation would require interpolation which can reduce quality.

Why do my phone photos appear sideways?

Smartphones store orientation data in EXIF metadata rather than rotating the actual pixels. Some apps ignore this metadata, causing photos to appear sideways. Rotating here fixes the actual pixel orientation.
