Common questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The photos are opened, turned and saved by your browser on your own device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else, and nothing is stored.

Does rotating reduce the quality?

Turning by 90 or 180 degrees or flipping moves pixels without changing them. Saving as JPG or WebP re-encodes the picture, which at the default quality of 92 is not visible; choose PNG when every pixel must stay identical.

Why does my phone photo look upright here but sideways elsewhere?

Phone cameras often save the picture sideways with a note saying which way to show it. Some apps read the note and some do not. This tool shows the photo the way the note says and saves it really turned, without the note, so every app agrees.

What is the difference between flip and rotate?

Rotating turns the picture like a sheet of paper on a desk. Flipping mirrors it, as if seen in a mirror: text reads backwards and left becomes right. Selfie cameras often mirror the picture, and a horizontal flip puts it back.

Can I turn only some of the images?

Yes. The buttons at the top change every image; the small buttons on each row change only that image. Undo all puts every image back as it was.

Can I rotate by a small angle, such as 5 degrees, to straighten a photo?

Not here. This tool turns by whole quarters and flips, which keeps every pixel exact. Straightening by a few degrees needs a crop as well, and is not offered yet.

How do I rotate a PDF?

Use Rotate PDF, which turns pages without redrawing them.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.

Nothing happens when I pick a file

The tool runs entirely in your browser, so a very old browser can fail silently. Try the current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Your files are never uploaded anywhere.
