Frequently Asked Questions
How do I rotate an image 90 degrees?
Open your image, then click the 90° Right or 90° Left button below the preview. The image rotates immediately — click as many times as needed, then click Save to download.
Can I rotate by a custom angle?
Yes. Drag the angle slider below the preset buttons to rotate by any degree from -180° to +180°. The preview updates as you drag, and the output canvas auto-expands so no part of your image is clipped.
Tip: combine preset buttons with the slider. For example, click 90° Right then drag the slider to fine-tune. The total rotation is the sum of all your actions.
What happens to image dimensions when I rotate 90 degrees?
Width and height swap. A 4000×3000 photo becomes 3000×4000 after a 90° rotation. The preview shows the new dimensions in real time so you always know the output size before saving.
Does rotation reduce image quality?
90°, 180°, and 270° rotations are pixel-perfect — no quality loss. Arbitrary angles (like 15° or 45°) use bilinear interpolation, which is lossless for 90° multiples and produces very minor softening for other angles. For casual use this is invisible; for professional print work, stay on the 90° increments.
What format is the rotated image saved as?
The rotated image is saved in the same format as the original (JPG, PNG, or WebP) to preserve quality. JPG output uses 0.92 quality — high enough for sharing, low enough to avoid ballooning file size.
After saving, if the file is still too large, run it through our Image Compressor.
Why does my iPhone photo look sideways after I upload it?
iPhones store an EXIF orientation flag in the photo file. Browsers and Apple apps read this flag and display the photo correctly, but many other apps ignore it — so the photo appears rotated wrong.
Our rotator first reads the EXIF flag, then applies your rotation on top — so the saved file is always visually correct without depending on the flag. Even if you don't add any rotation, opening an iPhone photo and clicking Save will bake the correct orientation into the pixels.
Need to flip horizontally instead of rotate?
Use our Image Flipper — it mirrors images left-right or top-bottom in one click, perfect for fixing selfies taken with a front camera.
Is rotation really private?
Yes! All rotation happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. You can verify this by going offline after loading the page — the tool keeps working.
Does this work offline?
Yes! Once you've visited the page, rotation works without internet. All processing happens locally in your browser, so you can rotate images anywhere — even on a plane.
