Frequently Asked Questions

How to straighten a crooked photo or scanned document

Upload the image and use the angle slider to fine-tune the rotation until the horizon or text lines are level. The canvas expands so no corners are cut off — ideal for fixing tilted phone photos, scans, and screenshots.

How to rotate an image 90 degrees left or right

Upload your image and click Rotate Left (90° counter-clockwise) or Rotate Right (90° clockwise). These are lossless — no quality loss at all. Click Download to save.

Can I rotate by a custom angle, not just 90°?

Yes. The angle slider lets you rotate to any degree from −180° to 180°, which is ideal for straightening a slightly crooked horizon or aligning a tilted scan. The canvas expands so nothing is cropped.

Does rotating reduce quality?

90°, 180°, and 270° rotations are lossless. Custom angles are re-sampled once at full resolution, so quality stays high. PNG output is lossless.

How to fix a photo that came out sideways or upside down

This happens when camera EXIF orientation isn't read correctly. Upload the photo and rotate 90° or 180° until it's right-side up. The fix is lossless and takes one click.

Can I rotate images on my phone without an app?

Yes. The tool runs in any mobile browser — no app download needed. Upload, rotate, and save directly to your camera roll.

What formats are supported?

Upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, or BMP. Export as PNG, JPG, or WebP at the original resolution.

How Image Rotation Works

Image rotation changes the angular orientation of your photo by turning it around its center point. You can rotate by precise degree increments or use quick-action buttons for common angles like 90, 180, and 270 degrees. When rotating by angles that are not multiples of 90 degrees, the resulting image dimensions may change to accommodate the rotated content without cropping.

Rotation is essential for correcting photos taken with the camera tilted, fixing orientation metadata issues, and adapting images between landscape and portrait formats. Many smartphone photos contain EXIF orientation data that some applications ignore, resulting in sideways or upside-down images. This tool applies the actual pixel transformation so your image displays correctly everywhere, regardless of whether the viewing application supports EXIF orientation tags.
