Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Rotation and flipping use canvas transforms in your browser. The image never leaves your device.

Is rotating lossless?

90-degree rotations and flips only rearrange existing pixels, so there is no quality loss. The result is saved as a lossless PNG.

Can I rotate by arbitrary angles?

This tool rotates in clean 90° steps (90, 180, 270), which keeps the output sharp and the dimensions exact. Free-angle rotation would require resampling and add soft edges.

Why do the width and height swap when I rotate 90°?

A quarter turn maps the original width onto the new height and vice versa, so a 1200×800 photo becomes 800×1200 after a 90° or 270° rotation. The canvas is resized to match before drawing.

Can I rotate and flip in the same step?

Yes. You can combine a rotation with a horizontal or vertical flip; the transforms are composed on the canvas, so the output reflects both at once.

Does this fix EXIF orientation issues?

It lets you manually correct a sideways photo, but it does not read EXIF tags. If a photo looks rotated, just apply the matching rotate-left or rotate-right step and download the corrected PNG.

Rotate and flip images privately

Fix a sideways photo or mirror an image with one click. Rotate left or right in 90° steps and flip horizontally or vertically — ideal for correcting phone photos that came out rotated, straightening scans, or preparing assets.

How it works

The image is drawn onto a <canvas> using composable transforms. A rotation calls ctx.rotate by 90°, 180° or 270° and translates the origin so the image stays centred; for 90° and 270° the canvas is resized to swap width and height. Flips negate the X or Y scale (scale(-1, 1) or scale(1, -1)). Because every operation only relocates existing pixels rather than resampling them, the result is lossless and saved as a clean PNG.

Example

Action	1200×800 input becomes
Rotate right 90°	800×1200 (turned clockwise)
Rotate 180°	1200×800 (upside down)
Flip horizontal	1200×800 (mirrored left-right)

All transforms are applied with a <canvas> in your browser, so they are lossless and your image is never uploaded.
