3 min read · Updated October 2026

Photos from phones or scanners sometimes open sideways or upside down. Rotating fixes them in a click. Flipping mirrors the picture, which is useful for selfies and designs.

How to rotate

  • Open Rotate Image and add a picture.
  • Choose Right 90, Left 90 or Upside down 180, and tick Flip left to right or Flip top to bottom if you want a mirror image.
  • Download the corrected image.

Rotate or flip?

Rotating turns the picture like a page. Flipping makes a mirror image, so text will read backwards. Use flip only when you want the mirror effect.

Quality

Turning by 90 degree steps does not blur a picture. Save the result as a new file and keep the original.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my photo look fine on my phone but sideways elsewhere?

Some photos store a rotation note instead of turning the pixels. Rotating and saving writes the correct direction into the picture.
