Image Rotator & Flipper

Turn a sideways photo the right way up, or mirror an image. The rotation is baked into the pixels, so it holds everywhere rather than depending on a metadata flag some apps ignore.

How to use the Image Rotator & Flipper

  1. Add an image

    Drop an image onto the upload area.

  2. Choose a rotation or flip

    Rotate in 90° steps, mirror horizontally, mirror vertically, or combine them.

  3. Apply and download

    Press Apply and download the corrected image.

Where your files are processed

Your files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.

The Image Rotator & Flipper runs as JavaScript on the page you are reading. When you choose a file, the browser hands it to that code directly — it is never put into a network request, so there is no upload to cancel, no copy sitting in a queue somewhere, and nothing for us to delete afterwards. We could not see your file if we wanted to.

You can verify this rather than take our word for it: open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and run the tool. You will see no request carrying your file. Better still, once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the internet entirely and the Image Rotator & Flipper will keep working — which it could not do if it depended on a server.

To be exact about what doesleave the page: like the rest of this site, it loads analytics, which record that a tool was opened and whether it succeeded. Those events carry the tool’s name and a duration — never a file, a file name, or anything read out of your file. The tool panel above is also excluded from session recording, so nothing shown inside it is captured either.

Frequently asked questions

Cameras often store the picture in one orientation plus an EXIF flag saying how to turn it. Some software honours that flag and some ignores it, which is why the same file can appear upright in one place and sideways in another. This tool rewrites the actual pixels, so the result is consistent everywhere.

Rotating 180° turns the image upside down; text in it is still readable if you stand on your head. Flipping mirrors it, so text comes out backwards. They look similar on a symmetrical image and very different on anything with writing in it.

Rotations in 90° steps and flips move whole pixels without resampling, so no detail is lost. JPEG files are re-encoded on save at high quality, which is not visible in normal use.
