What to expect

Turn and mirror

Turn 90° left or right, or 180°, or flip the photo in either direction.

Several at once

Select many photos, and they all get the same change.

No quality slider

The photo keeps its full width and height after turning.

Rotating versus straightening

This tool turns photos in 90° steps. It doesn't straighten a slightly tilted picture by a few degrees. For pages in a PDF, use Rotate PDF.

Saving your changes

JPG photos are saved again when turned, at high quality, so don't repeat it many times. PNG photos lose nothing. HEIC and other less common formats are saved as JPG or PNG, so that they open anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rotate a picture online?

Upload it, choose the direction and press the button.

Why does my photo look sideways on some apps?

Cameras store direction as a hidden note that some apps ignore. Saving it here builds the correct direction into the picture.

How do I un-mirror a selfie?

Choose Mirror left to right.

Are my photos kept?

Your files are only used for this job and are deleted from the server afterwards.

Can I rotate an iPhone HEIC photo?

Yes. It's saved as a JPG that opens anywhere.
