Rotate Images
Rotate images by 90, 180, or 270 degrees online for free. Fix sideways or upside-down photos in batches, right in your browser, no uploads needed.
About This Tool
Fix the orientation of photos taken sideways or upside down. Rotate a whole batch of images by 90 degrees clockwise, 180 degrees, or 90 degrees counter-clockwise in one pass. Common after importing photos from a phone or scanner that recorded the wrong orientation. Runs entirely in your browser: your images stay private.
How To Use
- Drop your images into the upload zone or click to select files from your device.
- Choose a rotation angle: 90° clockwise, 180°, or 90° counter-clockwise.
- Click "Rotate" and each image is turned in your browser.
- Download your rotated images individually or as a ZIP.
How It Works
Rotation draws the original image onto a new canvas rotated by the chosen angle. For 90° and 270° rotations, the canvas width and height are swapped from the source so a portrait photo correctly becomes landscape and vice versa; for 180°, the dimensions stay the same. The rotated pixels are then re-encoded in the original format.
All processing happens on an OffscreenCanvas inside a Web Worker, keeping your browser responsive even for a large batch of high-resolution photos. Since rotation in 90-degree steps is a pure pixel rearrangement with no interpolation, there is no blurring or quality loss beyond the format's own re-encoding.
Every image in a batch is rotated by the same angle. If different photos need different rotations, run the tool again with a different angle selected for the ones that still need fixing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does rotating reduce image quality?
Rotating by 90, 180, or 270 degrees just rearranges pixels with no interpolation, so there is no blurring. Any quality change comes only from the normal re-encoding of your chosen format, which is negligible at high quality.
Can I rotate images by any custom angle?
This tool supports 90°, 180°, and 270° steps, which cover the vast majority of sideways or upside-down photo fixes. Arbitrary angles need background fill for the corners and are not yet supported.
Can I rotate multiple images at once?
Yes. Batch processing applies the same rotation to every image you upload, up to 50 files at once.
What if my photos need different rotations?
Upload photos that need the same rotation together. For a mixed batch, run the tool once per rotation angle needed.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Rotation happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
