Rotate and Flip an Image Online — Free

A photo shot in portrait often opens sideways because the phone stored the orientation as an EXIF flag and the viewer ignored it. Here the frame is rotated physically — the pixels are rewritten — so the picture sits upright in Word, in an old CMS and in a messenger alike. Flipping solves a different problem: a mirrored portrait for an avatar, a reversed tracing-paper scan, or artwork prepared for iron-on transfer printing. Everything is computed in a canvas inside your tab. See also: trim the edges left after rotating, dial in the width and height you need, strip the EXIF orientation that keeps flipping it back.

How to use it

  1. Pick a file in the UPLOAD FILE panel — it accepts image/*, so a phone JPG, a PNG screenshot or a WebP download all work.
  2. Tap Rotate +90° or Rotate -90° until the frame stands upright; each press turns the picture by a quarter turn.
  3. Flip Horiz mirrors left to right, Flip Vert turns the image top to bottom — these are two different operations, not a 180° rotation.
  4. Actions stack on the same canvas, so rotating and flipping can be combined in any order with the preview updating each time.
  5. Press DOWNLOAD to save the finished PNG; RESET brings the untouched original back if you lose track of the turns.

FAQ

How is a vertical flip different from a 180-degree rotation?

A 180-degree rotation turns the picture upside down but keeps left on the left. Flip Vert mirrors across the horizontal axis: top and bottom swap while the image becomes a mirror image, like a reflection in a puddle. On a symmetrical pattern you cannot tell; on text you can, because rotated letters read upside down while flipped letters read inside out.

Why does my photo go sideways again after I rotate it in the phone gallery?

Galleries often change only the EXIF Orientation flag and leave the pixels untouched, so any program that ignores the flag shows the original framing. Here the frame is redrawn into a canvas with new geometry, and a PNG export carries no EXIF fields at all, so there is nothing left to disagree about.

Does rotating by 90 degrees lose quality?

The rotation itself is a lossless rearrangement of pixels at multiples of 90 degrees, with no interpolation and no softening. Any loss comes from elsewhere: if the source was a JPG it was already lossy, and the output is saved as lossless PNG, so existing artefacts remain but no new ones are added.

Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle such as 7 degrees?

No, only 90-degree steps through Rotate +90° and Rotate -90°. An arbitrary tilt needs pixel interpolation plus cropping or filling the corners it exposes, and this page has no controls for that. Straightening a crooked horizon needs an editor with a rotation slider and a crop tool.

Are the metadata and GPS tag of the original kept?

No. The image is redrawn through a canvas, which emits a clean raster, so camera model, capture date and GPS coordinates do not reach the exported PNG. That is often exactly what you want before posting a photo publicly, but keep the original separately if you need the metadata.

Does the file really stay off your server?

Yes. The page reads the selected file locally and paints it into a canvas element, and the download is built from a data-URL in the same tab. There is no upload form and no request carrying the image body, so a scan of a passport or a contract never leaves the device.

Why did my JPG come back as a PNG after rotating?

The export is always PNG because it is lossless and repeated turns therefore never stack compression artefacts. The trade-off is weight: a photo leaves heavier than the JPG you started with. If you need a JPG of similar size, run the result through a PNG to JPG converter or an image compressor.

Examples

A scanned page came out sideways
Before: contract-scan.jpg — 3024×4032, readable only with your head tilted
After: PNG at 4032×3024 after one Rotate +90°, the page stands upright
Selfie used as an avatar
Before: selfie.jpg — the slogan on the shirt reads backwards
After: PNG after Flip Horiz — the lettering on the clothing reads correctly again
