What does a rotate and flip image tool do?
This tool changes an image orientation without uploading it to a server. Rotate left or right in 90-degree steps, mirror an image horizontally, or turn it upside down with a vertical flip. These adjustments are helpful for phone photos, scanned documents, product images and graphics that need a corrected direction.
Upload an image to see a preview. Use the rotation and flip controls to set the orientation you want, then apply the change and download a new copy. The original file stays unchanged on your device.
How to rotate or flip an image
- Add an image from your device.
- Rotate left or right to correct its direction.
- Flip horizontally to make a mirror image.
- Flip vertically to reverse the image top to bottom.
- Apply the changes and download the edited copy.
Rotating by 90 or 270 degrees swaps the pixel width and height. A 180-degree rotation keeps the same dimensions. Horizontal and vertical flips retain the same size but reverse the pixel order across the chosen axis.
Common uses
Photos taken in the wrong orientation are the most common reason to rotate an image. Flipping is useful when correcting mirrored selfies, creating a reflected design, or matching the direction of a logo or product photo. Combining a rotation with a flip lets you correct more unusual orientation problems without opening a full image editor.
Private browser editing
The Canvas API performs the transformation on your device. No image is sent to a remote service, which is useful for personal photos, document scans and client materials. The downloaded image is a new copy, so keep the original if you may need a different orientation later.
