Rotate and flip an image
Rotate pictures by 90°, 180° or 270° and mirror horizontally or vertically. Preview the result, choose a format and verify its output dimensions.

How to use rotate & flip image
Correct a sideways photograph or mirror a scan with fixed rotation and flip controls. Browser decoding first handles the supported source orientation; the chosen transform is applied to that visible image. A quarter-turn swaps the output width and height. Export creates a newly encoded image, not a lossless JPEG rotation of the original byte stream.
- Select the image and review its decoded orientation.
- Choose 90°, 180°, 270° or no rotation, then select no mirror, horizontal flip or vertical flip.
- Choose the output format and process the transformation.
- Read the new dimensions and make sure text, symbols and the subject face the intended way.
A practical example
Rotating a 1,200 × 1,600 portrait 90° produces a 1,600 × 1,200 landscape. A horizontal mirror can reverse writing, so inspect a document scan before using a flipped result.
Supported files and limitations
- Only the listed right-angle rotations and mirror choices are provided; there is no arbitrary-angle straightening control.
- The output is re-encoded and source EXIF metadata is omitted. JPEG export may add encoding loss.
- This tool does not repair perspective, warped paper or unreadable source text.
Troubleshooting
Why did width and height swap?
A 90° or 270° rotation turns the pixel grid sideways. That is expected; a 180° turn keeps the same dimensions.
Why is the writing backwards?
A mirror was selected. Choose None for mirror when you only want to rotate a document.
Questions about rotate & flip image
Is flipping the same as rotating?
No. Rotation turns the image; flipping mirrors its content across a horizontal or vertical axis.
Can I rotate by a small angle such as 2°?
Not in this release. The controls provide 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° only.
Is JPEG rotation here lossless?
No. It uses browser decoding and re-encoding. Keep the original when byte-stream preservation matters.
How should I rotate a scanned page for PDF?
Correct it here, inspect text direction, then select the corrected image in Images to PDF if you want a PDF wrapper.
