How to Use Change Vertical to Horizontal Image
- Upload your image by clicking the drop zone or dragging a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF from your desktop. The file stays on your device - nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Pick a direction: 90° clockwise (default) is the usual choice for a phone portrait shot; 90° counter-clockwise rotates the other way; 180° flips the image end-for-end.
- Choose an output format - "Keep source format" preserves JPG/PNG/WebP input, while GIFs are converted to a single-frame PNG (canvas can't re-encode animated GIFs).
- Set the JPEG background if you picked JPEG output for a transparent source. The colour fills behind the image so you don't get black edges.
- Press
Rotateor hitCtrl+Enter(⌘+Enteron Mac). The preview updates instantly and the stats line shows the new dimensions and byte count. - Copy the image straight to your clipboard where supported (Chrome/Edge), or fall back to a data URL. Download saves a timestamped file with the correct extension.
- Press
Resetto clear everything and start over with another image.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire rotation runs in your browser using the 2D canvas API. There is no fetch, no upload – the file never leaves your device.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF as input. Output can be JPG, PNG, or WebP – GIFs are converted to a single-frame PNG because canvas cannot re-encode animation.
Which direction does the tool rotate by default?
90° clockwise, which is the correct direction for a phone photo taken in portrait held upright. Use the dropdown to switch to counter-clockwise or 180° if needed.
Does rotation lose quality?
A 90°, 180°, or 270° rotation is lossless on the pixel grid – no interpolation is needed. If you choose JPEG or WebP output you are re-encoding, so there is the normal lossy compression step; choose PNG for a pixel-perfect result.
What happens if my image is already landscape?
It still rotates – that is what you asked for. The stats line shows an “ℹ source is already landscape” hint so you can undo if it wasn’t the plan.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit but very large images (over 8000×8000 pixels) trigger a warning because memory and canvas size caps vary by browser. Typical phone photos rotate in well under 80 ms.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Not in this tool – it handles one image per run so the UI stays predictable. For a batch, rotate each in turn; the stats reset automatically when you load a new file.
Why do I need a JPEG background colour?
JPEG does not support transparency. If your source is a PNG with alpha and you choose JPEG output, the colour picker fills under the image so transparent pixels do not become black.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The layout collapses to a single column below 768 px and every control is keyboard and touch accessible.
Does it work offline?
After the page loads, yes. HTML, CSS, and JS are self-contained – you can disconnect Wi-Fi and keep rotating.
