How to Use

  1. 1 Upload your image — JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF.
  2. 2 Tap Left 90° or Right 90° to step the rotation, or pick a preset (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°).
  3. 3 Pick an output format — PNG keeps transparency, JPG and WebP are smaller.
  4. 4 Preview updates instantly. Click Download to save the rotated image.

Features

  • Right-angle rotation (90°, 180°, 270°) — perfectly lossless re-layout of pixels.
  • Step left or right, or jump straight to a preset angle.
  • Output canvas auto-sizes when width and height swap at 90° and 270°.
  • Live preview before you download.
  • 100% client-side — export as PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Why it Matters

Photos taken sideways, scanned documents, and screenshots often need a quick quarter-turn. A right-angle rotation is special because it only re-arranges existing pixels — there's no interpolation and therefore no quality loss at all. This tool does exactly that in your browser: pick a quarter-turn, see it instantly, and download, with your image never leaving your device.

Use Cases

Fix Sideways Photos

Straighten photos that were captured in the wrong orientation by your camera or phone.

Scanned Documents

Turn a scan that came in rotated so the text reads upright before sharing or printing.

Screenshots & Mockups

Reorient screenshots and design assets to fit landscape or portrait layouts.

Prep for Upload

Correct orientation before posting to social media or a print service.

How to use

  1. Upload your image (JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF).
  2. Use Left 90° / Right 90° to step the rotation, or pick a preset angle (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°).
  3. Choose an output format (PNG keeps transparency; JPG and WebP are smaller and let you set quality).
  4. The preview updates instantly — click Download rotated image to save it.

Why right angles are lossless

When you rotate by exactly 90°, 180°, or 270°, every pixel maps cleanly to a new grid position — nothing is blended or estimated. That means zero quality loss. (Rotating by an angle like 30° would require interpolating between pixels, which softens the image; that’s why this tool focuses on the clean quarter-turns.)

At 90° and 270° the output swaps width and height — a landscape photo becomes portrait and vice-versa. At 180° the size is unchanged.

Common use cases

  • Sideways phone photos that need a quarter-turn.
  • Scanned documents that came in rotated.
  • Screenshots and mock-ups that need to fit a different layout.
  • Pre-upload fixes for social media or print orders.

Private by design

The rotation is performed locally with the HTML Canvas API. Your image is never sent to a server, so it’s instant and completely private.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does rotating reduce image quality?
Not for 90°, 180°, or 270°. A right-angle rotation simply re-maps existing pixels to new positions with no interpolation, so it is completely lossless. Any tiny size change comes only from re-encoding — choose PNG to stay pixel-perfect.
Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle like 45°?
This tool handles right angles (90°, 180°, 270°) because they are lossless and keep your image rectangular without empty corners. Arbitrary-angle rotation is on the roadmap.
What happens to the dimensions?
At 90° and 270° the width and height swap (a 1920×1080 image becomes 1080×1920). At 180° the dimensions stay the same.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Rotation runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded, so your image stays private.
