Rotate and Flip Image

What this tool does

Rotate and Flip Image fixes sideways photos, straightens tilted horizons and mirrors selfies. Rotate many files at once by 90°, 180° or a precise angle, choose whether to expand the canvas or crop away empty corners, and download the results as a ZIP.

Photos often end up sideways because the camera's orientation flag was lost, scanned documents come in upside down, and handheld shots have tilted horizons. Front-camera selfies are mirrored, which makes text in the background read backwards.

This tool draws each image onto a canvas with the rotation and mirroring you choose. Right-angle rotations swap width and height with no loss of pixels. For a free angle such as 2.5° it can expand the canvas to fit the whole picture, keep the original size, or crop to the largest rectangle that contains no empty corners, calculated exactly from the angle and the image proportions. Corners can be transparent or filled with a colour.

How to use Rotate and Flip Image

1. Add one or more images, or load the sample.
2. Use 90° left, 90° right or 180° for quick turns, or drag the Angle slider for small corrections.
3. Type an Exact angle for precise values such as -1.8°.
4. For free angles, choose how to handle Corners: Expand canvas, Crop to fill or Keep size.
5. Switch on Flip horizontally or Flip vertically if needed.
6. Press Rotate and download the files or the ZIP.

Tips for better results

• To straighten a horizon, use angles below 5°; Crop to fill then removes the empty wedges automatically.
• Positive angles rotate clockwise, negative angles anticlockwise.
• Flip horizontally to un-mirror a selfie so text appears the right way round.
• Choose PNG or WebP output if you want transparent corners for an angled design element.

Common use cases

• Fixing a batch of phone photos that display sideways in an online gallery.
• Turning scanned pages the right way up before combining them into a PDF.
• Straightening a crooked product or real-estate photo.
• Creating a mirrored version of an image for a design mock-up.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Rotating JPGs many times in a row; each save re-encodes the image, so apply the full rotation in one step.
• Using Keep size with large angles, which cuts off the corners of the picture.
• Flipping images that contain text or logos without noticing they now read backwards.
