About the Rotate Image tool
This tool turns a picture around its center. Use the 90, 180, and 270 degree presets for the common quarter-turns, or type any custom angle for a fine adjustment. Rotation fixes a photo shot in the wrong orientation, straightens a slightly tilted scan or horizon, or sets a portrait picture upright when the camera saved it sideways.
How to use it
- Load the image you want to turn.
- Pick 90, 180, or 270 degrees, or enter a custom angle.
- Preview the result, then download it.
The 90, 180, and 270 degree presets are clean quarter-turns that keep every pixel and only change the canvas orientation. A custom angle such as 7 degrees is different: because the rotated rectangle no longer fits the original frame, the canvas is enlarged and the new corner areas are filled with transparent or background pixels, and edges are interpolated, which can soften them very slightly. If your photo looks sideways only in some apps, the cause may be an EXIF orientation flag rather than the actual pixels - this tool bakes the rotation into the pixels so it appears the same everywhere. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rotate an image by a custom angle, not just 90 degrees?
Yes. Use the 90, 180, and 270 presets for quarter-turns, or type any angle such as 5 or 45 degrees for a precise adjustment like straightening a tilted horizon.
Why does my rotated image have transparent or blank corners?
When you rotate by an angle that is not a multiple of 90 degrees, the tilted picture no longer fills a rectangle, so the new corner areas are padded with transparent or background pixels.
Will rotating by 90 degrees lose quality?
No. Multiples of 90 degrees simply reorient the existing pixels with no interpolation, so they are lossless apart from any re-compression when saving to a lossy format.
My photo shows sideways in one app but correct in another - why?
That is usually an EXIF orientation flag that some viewers honor and others ignore. This tool writes the rotation directly into the pixels, so the result looks the same in every program.
