Rotate, flip or straighten an image

Fix a photo that shows up sideways, flip a mirrored selfie or straighten a crooked horizon. 90° rotations don't lose quality, and you can apply the same change to several photos at once.

How it works

  1. Choose the image

    Tap the box or drop in one or more photos.

  2. Rotate or flip

    Use the buttons to rotate 90° or flip horizontally or vertically, or the fine control to straighten by a few degrees.

  3. Download

    Download the corrected image, which will look the same on any device.

Why a photo shows up rotated

Cameras always save the photo in the same position and record separately, in the metadata, how the device was being held. Some programs and websites ignore that note and display the image sideways. When you rotate it here, the rotation is applied to the actual pixels, so it will look right everywhere.

Mirrored selfies and backwards text

The front camera shows the image like a mirror, and sometimes saves it that way: text on signs or T-shirts reads backwards. “Flip horizontally” fixes it in one tap. It's also useful for photos of documents taken with the front camera or for adjusting the composition of a product photo.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rotate a photo that shows up sideways?

Upload the photo, tap rotate left or rotate right until it's upright, and download. The rotation is saved into the image itself.

How do I flip a mirrored selfie?

Upload the selfie and tap “Flip horizontally”. Any text that read backwards will now read the right way.

Does rotating an image reduce its quality?

90° rotations and flips keep every pixel. Straightening by a free angle recalculates the image and can soften it very slightly.

How do I straighten a crooked horizon?

Use the “Straighten” control to tilt the photo a few degrees until the horizon is level. The empty corners are filled with the background color.

Can I rotate several photos at once?

Yes. Load several images and the rotation or flip you choose is applied to all of them.

Are the photos uploaded to a server?

No. The rotation happens in your browser and the images don't leave your device.
