How it works

Image Rotate and Flip lets you correct the orientation of any photo or graphic without installing software. Upload your image and choose from four rotation steps (90 degrees clockwise, 180 degrees, 90 degrees counter-clockwise) or flip the image horizontally or vertically.

Operations are applied immediately and shown in a live preview. You can chain multiple operations -- for example, rotate 90 degrees then flip horizontally -- and the result updates after each step. When the orientation is correct, click Download to save the image as a PNG.

This tool is especially helpful for photos taken with a camera held sideways, scanned documents that came out upside down, or logos that need to be mirrored for a symmetrical design. Everything runs in the browser via the Canvas API; nothing is uploaded to a server.

Worked example

Fix a sideways smartphone photo

  1. Upload the photo that appears rotated 90 degrees to the left.
  2. Click Rotate 90 CW once.
  3. Check the preview -- the photo should now appear upright.
  4. Click Download to save the corrected PNG.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Clicking Download before applying all desired rotations or flips.
  • Confusing horizontal and vertical flip -- horizontal flip mirrors left-to-right, not top-to-bottom.
  • Uploading an already-correct image and rotating unnecessarily, then not noticing the error before downloading.
