Why photos arrive sideways in the first place

Phones don't rotate pixels at capture — they record the orientation as EXIF metadata and hope the viewer honours it. Many apps don't, and the photo lies on its side. Rotating here physically rearranges the pixels, so the image is upright everywhere, metadata or not.

Fact	Detail
90°/180° rotation	Lossless — pixels just move
Arbitrary angles	Slight softening (resampling)
Horizontal/vertical flip	Yes — fixes mirrored selfies
Formats	JPG, PNG, WebP and more
Output format	Same as input

Typical jobs people use this for

Fixing a sideways photo before a form upload that ignores EXIF
Un-mirroring a front-camera selfie of a whiteboard
Turning a landscape document photo upright for printing

When this is the wrong tool

If the photo displays correctly on your phone but sideways elsewhere, the pixels were always sideways — rotate here once and it's fixed everywhere. For straightening a slightly tilted horizon, you want a crop-with-rotation editor, not a 90° tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does rotating lose any quality?

Rotating by 90° or 180° is lossless — the pixels are simply rearranged. Rotating by an arbitrary angle requires resampling and does soften the image very slightly, which is unavoidable in any editor.

Why do my photos appear sideways in the first place?

Phones record orientation as EXIF metadata rather than physically rotating the pixels. Software that reads that metadata displays the photo correctly; software that ignores it shows the raw sideways version. Rotating here writes the correct orientation into the image itself, so it looks right everywhere.

Can I flip an image as well as rotate it?

Yes — horizontal and vertical flips are available alongside rotation. A horizontal flip is what you want to correct the mirrored look of a front-camera selfie.

Which formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP and other common web image formats. The output keeps the format you started with.

Do you keep a copy of the photos I rotate?

No. Rotation happens entirely in your browser.
