Pictures are processed in your browser and never uploaded to our servers.
Corners after straightening
A tilted picture leaves blank corners; crop them afterwards.
Choose the image, use the rotate and flip buttons, or the Straighten slider for a small tilt, then download the result. Phone photos are shown upright first, using the rotation tag the phone saved, so what you see is what you get. Nothing is uploaded.

How do I rotate an image online?
Choose the image, then press the rotate buttons to turn it 90 degrees left or right, or the flip buttons to mirror it. For a slightly crooked photo, use the Straighten slider. Download the result when it looks right. There's no sign-up and your picture isn't uploaded.
Why is my photo sideways?
Phones save the camera's rotation in a hidden tag instead of turning the image itself. The tool reads that tag and shows the photo upright, so what you see is the true result. Some websites ignore the tag, which is why the same photo can appear sideways after uploading.
What happens to the corners when I straighten a photo?
A tilted picture needs a larger canvas, so the corners become transparent in PNG and WebP, or white in JPG. Crop them off afterwards with the Crop image tool if you want a clean rectangle. Small tilts only leave thin corners, so you lose very little of the photo.
Does rotating lower the quality?
Quarter turns don't change the pixels, but JPG and WebP files are saved again, which can lose a tiny amount of quality. Keep your original just in case. Choose PNG if you need a perfectly lossless copy, for example for a logo or a screenshot with text.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The picture stays in your browser the whole time and is never sent to our servers. That's useful for photos of documents and ID cards, which are often the ones that end up sideways. After loading, the tool works offline too. Nothing is stored afterwards.
How do I flip a selfie?
Press the horizontal flip button to mirror the photo left to right. Front cameras often save mirrored images, so text in the background reads backwards; flipping fixes that. Download the flipped version and keep the original if you prefer the mirrored look. It takes one tap.
Can I rotate by a small angle?
Yes. The Straighten slider turns the picture by small amounts to level a crooked horizon, shelf or document. Watch a straight line in the photo as you move the slider. Afterwards, crop the corners to remove the blank areas the tilt creates. A little goes a long way.
Why does my photo appear sideways on a website?
Many websites and forms ignore the rotation tag phones save, so they show the raw image, which may be sideways. Rotating it here and downloading saves the pixels upright, so it displays correctly everywhere. This is a common fix before uploading to government and exam portals.
Can I rotate a photo of a document?
Yes. Turn it upright, straighten it if the photo was taken at a slight angle, and crop the edges. Then convert it to PDF with JPG to PDF if the form asks for a PDF. All of these tools run in your browser. Check the text is upright.
Which format should I download?
Keep the original format for most photos. Choose PNG when you need a lossless copy, such as a screenshot or logo, or when you've straightened an image and want transparent corners. JPG gives smaller files for ordinary photos. WebP works well for websites, with small files and transparency.
Can I rotate several images at once?
No, the tool works on one image at a time, so you can check each result. For a few photos that's quick. If you have many sideways photos, rotating them in your phone's gallery app before uploading can be faster. Each download keeps the original file name.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. Choose the photo from your gallery, tap the rotate or flip buttons, and download. It's handy when a portal shows your phone photo sideways and you need an upright version quickly. No app or account is needed, and your photo never leaves the phone.
Will the downloaded image keep its size?
Quarter turns keep the same number of pixels, with width and height swapped. Straightening enlarges the canvas slightly to fit the tilted picture. If you need a specific size afterwards, use Resize image. File size may change slightly when JPG or WebP files are saved again after rotating.
What's the difference between rotate and flip?
Rotating turns the picture around its centre, like turning a printed photo on a table. Flipping mirrors it, like looking at it in a mirror. Use rotate for sideways photos and flip for mirrored selfies or reversed text. You can combine both on the same picture.
Is it free?
Yes. Rotating and flipping images is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. It's one of the free Marketiism image tools that work entirely in your browser, alongside crop, resize, compress and convert. Nothing is added to your pictures, and business use is fine.
