Degrees

What is an image rotator?

An image rotator changes the orientation of a picture by spinning it around its center by a chosen number of degrees. You upload an image, then either click a preset button for a quarter-turn, half-turn or three-quarter-turn, or type an exact angle and apply it. The tool redraws the image onto a canvas at the new orientation and reports the resulting size, so you can see exactly what you will get before you download. Rotation is lossless in terms of content — it does not recompress or degrade the pixels; it simply maps the same pixels into a new orientation and swaps the width and height for 90° and 270° turns. This is the fastest way to correct a photo shot in the wrong direction, turn a landscape image into a portrait one, or prepare an image for a layout that needs a specific rotation. No image ever leaves your device.

How to use

Choose an image from your device.
Click a rotate button, or type an angle and click Apply degrees.
Download the rotated image when you are happy with it.

Example

Choose a portrait photo that was shot sideways. Click Rotate 90° and the preview flips to landscape, showing the new output size; click Download rotated image to save the corrected file.

Who is this image rotator for?

Photographers: They fix phone photos shot sideways so the orientation is right before sharing or editing.
Creators and designers: They change a landscape shot to portrait (or the reverse) to fit a template or layout.
Marketers: They straighten and reorient an image for a print ad or a platform that expects a vertical file.
Developers: They rotate an asset precisely by degrees so it matches the angle an API or UI requires.

Rotation presets reference

Angle	Orientation change	1920 × 1080 source
90°	Width ↔ height swap	becomes 1080 × 1920
180°	Upside-down, size unchanged	stays 1920 × 1080
270°	Width ↔ height swap	becomes 1080 × 1920
360°	No change	stays 1920 × 1080

Common use cases

Correcting photos taken sideways, upside down or from a phone's odd auto-rotate.
Converting a landscape image to portrait (or vice versa) for a specific layout.
Flipping a design to a preferred orientation before printing or uploading.
Preparing an image that will be reused in a template that expects a vertical or horizontal file.

Pro tips

Use the 90° and -90° buttons for a quick turn; 180° flips it right-side up fast.
Type any angle for a precise round, for example 45° for a tilt or a header image.
The output is saved as PNG, so the image is redrawn without lossy compression.
Pair with the image cropper to trim unwanted edges after rotating.

FAQ

How do I rotate an image?

Choose an image, then click a rotate button or enter an exact number of degrees and click Apply. Download the rotated image when ready.

Does rotating an image lose quality?

No. Rotation itself does not lose quality — the image is redrawn on a canvas with the same pixels, so the content is preserved.

Can I rotate by any angle?

Yes. Use the preset 90°, 180° or 270° buttons, or type any angle in degrees and click Apply.

What format is the output?

The rotated image is saved as PNG, which avoids the quality loss of re-saving a JPEG.

Is it free and private?

Yes. It is free, unlimited, and runs entirely in your browser so your images never leave your device.

Does it change the aspect ratio?

For 90° and 270° the width and height swap, so the aspect ratio flips; other angles keep the original pixels and fill the frame.

Can I rotate several images at once?

This tool handles one image at a time; batch a series individually.

How is rotating different from flipping?

Rotation spins the image around its center, while flipping mirrors it horizontally or vertically.
