Frequently asked questions

Why do my phone photos upload sideways?: Some apps ignore EXIF orientation tags. Rotating here bakes the correct orientation into the pixel data so it displays consistently everywhere.
Can I rotate by a custom angle?: This tool supports 90-degree increments and flips. For arbitrary angles you may need desktop software; for most photos, 90° steps are sufficient.
Does rotating affect image quality?: Rotation at 90° or 180° is lossless for JPEG when saved at high quality. Repeated edits at low quality settings can introduce artifacts.
What is the difference between rotate and flip?: Rotate turns the image 90° or 180°. Flip creates a mirror image horizontally or vertically without changing which side is up.
How do I turn a horizontal photo vertical (or vice versa)?: Use a 90° rotate to swap landscape and portrait orientation. That is different from a flip, which mirrors the image instead of turning it.
Should I rotate before or after cropping?: Rotate first to correct orientation, then crop to improve framing and remove empty borders.
Can I batch rotate multiple images?: Process images one at a time in the browser. For large batches, repeat the same rotation steps on each file.
