What the Rotate & Flip Image does
Rotate & Flip fixes images that are turned the wrong way. Rotate them 90° to the left or right, turn them upside down with two clicks, or mirror them horizontally (like a selfie) or vertically. The thumbnails show the result immediately, so you can see exactly what you will get before saving.
You can add as many images as you like — for example a whole series of photos taken in portrait mode that appear sideways — and apply the same correction to all of them. Each corrected file keeps its original format and gets “-rotated” added to its name, so your originals are never overwritten.
All processing happens on your device. Your photos are not uploaded to any server, which keeps private pictures private and makes the tool fast even on mobile data.
When to use it
Sideways phone photos
Fix pictures that look correct on your phone but appear rotated on a computer or in an upload form.
Scanned documents
Turn pages that were scanned upside down or in landscape so they read correctly.
Mirrored selfies and text
Flip front-camera photos horizontally so writing in the background is readable again.
Design and presentations
Mirror arrows, icons or product shots to face the right direction in a layout.
Tips for the best results
- Rotating twice to the right is the same as turning the image upside down (180°).
- Flipping horizontally mirrors left and right; it is not the same as rotating by 180°.
- If a photo looks right on your phone but rotated elsewhere, its orientation is stored as metadata only. Saving it here writes the rotation into the pixels so it looks right everywhere.
- Use “Reset” to start again without removing the images from the list.
How the Rotate & Flip Image works
Each image is drawn onto a canvas whose width and height are swapped for 90° and 270° rotations. The canvas is rotated around its centre and, for flips, scaled by −1 on the horizontal or vertical axis before the image is drawn.
Because the rotation is in exact 90° steps, every pixel moves to a new position without any interpolation, so the image stays perfectly sharp. JPG files are saved again at 92% quality, PNG files remain lossless, and GIF or BMP files are saved as PNG.
The preview uses the same transformation applied with CSS to the thumbnail, so it matches the saved file.
