Corners after straightening

Quarter turns and flips never lose quality. Straightening enlarges the canvas so nothing is cut; JPG files fill the new corners with the colour.

What does Rotate & Flip Image do?

This tool fixes pictures that are sideways or upside down, mirrors selfies that came out reversed and straightens photos with a tilted horizon. You see every change instantly in the preview and download the final image at its full original resolution.

Quarter turns and flips

Rotate left and Rotate right turn the image by 90° each time; press twice for 180°. Flip horizontal mirrors it left to right – handy for front-camera selfies where text appears backwards – and Flip vertical mirrors it top to bottom, for example for reflections or scanned material placed the wrong way. These operations move whole pixels without blending them, so they never reduce sharpness.

Straightening by any angle

The Straighten slider turns the image by up to 45° in either direction, in half-degree steps, which is enough to level a sea horizon, a building or a document photographed at an angle. A rotated rectangle needs a larger canvas, so the tool enlarges it to keep every corner of your photo; the new triangular corners are transparent for PNG and WebP, or filled with the colour you choose. JPG cannot store transparency, so JPG photos always use the colour. If you prefer a clean rectangle without corners, straighten first and then use Crop Image.

Why do some photos appear rotated?

Cameras and phones often save the pixels in one orientation and record the intended rotation as an EXIF tag. This tool reads that tag when it opens the photo, so what you see is how the picture was meant to look, and the downloaded image has its rotation applied to the pixels themselves. That makes it display correctly in programs that ignore EXIF.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating a JPG reduce its quality?

The image is re-encoded at high quality (92%), so the change is not visible. Keep the original if you need an untouched copy.

Can I undo a change?

Yes: rotate the other way, flip again or press Reset. Your original file is never modified.
