Rotate Image And Flip

Anything in the -360° to +360° range, including fractional values like 22.5° or 7.3°. The numeric field and slider both accept the full range; values outside are clamped with a toast.

Positive rotates clockwise (↻), negative rotates counter-clockwise (↺). The preset buttons are labelled with the arrow direction so you don’t have to remember which sign is which.

Rotations at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° are pixel-perfect – no anti-alias blur. Other angles use the browser’s bilinear/bicubic interpolation, which adds a small amount of smoothing along edges. That’s normal and unavoidable for non-axis-aligned rotations in raster images.

The canvas grows to fit the rotated bounding box so no pixels get clipped. A 400×300 source rotated by 45° yields roughly a 495×495 canvas with the image tilted inside and the four corners empty.

PNG mode leaves them transparent. JPEG mode fills them with the “Corner fill colour” you pick (default white). JPEG does not support transparency, so a fill is required.

Yes. Transparency is preserved exactly – only visible pixels are resampled, and the areas outside the rotated image stay fully transparent in PNG mode.

Yes. The flips apply first, then the rotation is applied on top. So flipping horizontally and rotating 90° clockwise gives a different result from rotating first and then flipping – the tool uses the editor-standard “flip → rotate” order.

No. All rotation and flipping happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded or logged – the file stays on your device.

For sideways, click ↻ +90° or ↺ -90° – the preview shows immediately which direction you need. For upside-down, click the 180° preset.

No. Canvas-based rotation rewrites the pixel data directly and strips EXIF. That’s a feature for most users – the saved image now displays the same way in every viewer, without depending on the EXIF orientation tag being read correctly.
