Example
Example: a sideways phone photo of a drawing, 4032 × 3024, turned upright
house.jpg, 4032 × 3024 pixels: a photo of a child’s drawing of a cream house with a red roof and a blue door, under a sun and two clouds. It opens on its side in every app, roof pointing left. Settings: “90° clockwise”, “No flip”, “Keep original format”.
- A quarter turn clockwise brings the left edge to the top, so the roof points up again.
- Width and height swap: the photo becomes 3024 × 4032, and a 90° turn loses no pixels.
- Press Rotate images: house-rotated.jpg downloads with the pixels themselves upright, so it no longer depends on an app reading a rotation note.
| How the picture looks | Choose | A 4032 × 3024 photo becomes |
|---|---|---|
| Its top is on the left | 90° clockwise | 3024 × 4032 |
| Its top is on the right | 90° counter-clockwise | 3024 × 4032 |
| It is upside down | 180° | 4032 × 3024 |
| Writing reads backwards, as in a mirror | Do not rotate + Mirror left to right | 4032 × 3024 |
house-rotated.jpg, 3024 × 4032 and upright, ready to email or print. A JPG is saved again at high quality; choose PNG as the output format to keep it lossless.
How it works
- Drop the images to rotate. Several can be turned in one run.
- Choose the rotation: 90° clockwise, 180° or 90° counter-clockwise.
- Add a flip if the picture is also mirrored.
- Press Rotate images and download the results.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does a photo look upright on my phone but sideways elsewhere?
- Phones often save the rotation as a note in the file instead of turning the pixels. Apps that ignore the note show the photo sideways. Saving it here writes the pixels upright, so it looks right everywhere.
- Does rotating lower the quality?
- Turning by 90° steps loses no pixels. JPG files are re-encoded at high quality, which is not visible in practice; choose PNG to keep the result lossless.
- Can I rotate a PDF instead?
- Use Rotate PDF for documents; it turns pages without converting them to images.
- Can I use a photo straight from my iPhone (HEIC)?
- Yes. Browsers cannot read HEIC on their own, so a small WebAssembly decoder loads the first time you bring one; after that it works offline like everything else here, and the photo still never leaves your device. The result is saved as JPG, because HEIC is not a format a browser can write.
- Which way do I turn a photo whose top is on the left?
- 90° clockwise: the left edge goes to the top. If the top is on the right, choose 90° counter-clockwise; if it is at the bottom, 180°. Width and height swap on a quarter turn, so a 4032 × 3024 photo becomes 3024 × 4032.
- What is the difference between 180° and “Upside down”?
- 180° turns the picture round: writing in it is upside down but not reversed. “Upside down” under Flip mirrors it from top to bottom, which also reverses writing; it is for a picture that was saved mirrored. A flip on its own is saved as name-flipped.jpg.
- Are my images uploaded?
- No. Rotation happens in your browser. The free plan handles 3 images per run, 20 MB each and 5 runs per day.
