Frequently Asked Questions
Many cameras and phones store rotation information in EXIF metadata rather than physically rotating the pixels. Some websites ignore EXIF orientation data. This tool physically rotates the pixels, producing a file that displays correctly everywhere regardless of EXIF support.
For 90° and 180° rotations, the pixel data is rearranged without any resampling —no quality is lost for PNG output. For JPEG output, re-encoding applies JPEG compression, which may introduce minor quality changes. Use PNG output for pixel-perfect lossless rotation.
Yes —clicking 90° CW four times returns to the original orientation. Or click 90° CCW to reverse a clockwise rotation. Reload the page to start fresh.
Flip horizontal mirrors the image left-to-right (like a mirror). Flip vertical mirrors it top-to-bottom (upside down). Both can be combined with rotation for any orientation.
