Free Online Rotate & Flip Image
Rotate images by any angle or flip them horizontally and vertically.
Use the slider for small corrections such as a tilted horizon. The total angle is shown below.
Rotating by a non-right angle creates a larger canvas to fit the whole image. Transparent corners stay transparent in PNG and WebP; JPG fills them with white.
About the Rotate & Flip Image Tool
This free tool fixes sideways phone photos, tilted horizons, and mirrored scans without installing any software. Load a JPG, PNG, or WebP file, then rotate it in precise 90-degree steps or fine-tune the angle with a slider. You can also flip the image horizontally to correct a mirrored selfie or flip it vertically for a reflection effect. A live preview shows the exact result, including the expanded canvas needed for angled rotations, and the finished file can be downloaded as PNG, JPG, or WebP. All processing happens in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.
Right angles versus fine angles
The 90-degree buttons are perfect for fixing photos that were taken in portrait orientation but saved as landscape. They do not soften the image because the pixels are simply rearranged. The fine-angle slider is designed for small corrections, such as straightening a horizon that is a few degrees off. Rotating by an arbitrary angle changes the bounding box: the output becomes wider and taller to contain every corner, and the empty triangular areas at the edges are transparent (or white in a JPG).
Flipping and combining transformations
Horizontal and vertical flips can be combined with any rotation. Flip horizontally to correct text that appears backwards in a mirror photo, or flip vertically to create a symmetrical reflection. The preview always applies the rotation and both flip settings together, so you can see the final composition before you download it. The reset button returns the image to its original orientation in one click.
Frequently asked questions
Does rotating lose quality?
A 90, 180, or 270-degree rotation does not resample the image, so quality is preserved. Arbitrary angles require resampling and can soften fine detail slightly, especially if you rotate the same file repeatedly.
Why are the corners transparent after rotating?
An angled rectangle cannot fill a rectangular canvas without leaving empty areas. PNG and WebP keep those areas transparent. If you choose JPG, the tool fills them with white because JPG does not support transparency.
Which way is a positive angle?
Positive values rotate clockwise and negative values rotate counter-clockwise. The total angle displayed under the preview combines the quick 90-degree steps with the fine-angle slider.
