How to Flip and Rotate Images — Quick Orientation Fixes

Rotation vs Flipping

Rotation turns the image by a specific angle (90, 180, or 270 degrees, or a custom angle).

Flipping creates a mirror image — either horizontally (left becomes right) or vertically (top becomes bottom).

Common Use Cases

Rotation

  • Photos taken with the phone held sideways
  • Scanned documents that are upside down
  • Straightening a slightly tilted horizon

Horizontal Flip

  • Selfies (to see yourself as others see you)
  • Design layouts that need to face the other direction
  • Creating mirror-image pairs

Vertical Flip

  • Scanned documents placed upside down
  • Creating reflections for design effects

How to Rotate Images

  1. Upload your image
  2. Choose the rotation angle (90 CW, 180, or 90 CCW)
  3. For custom angles, use the slider or type the exact degrees
  4. Download the rotated image

How to Flip Images

  1. Upload your image
  2. Choose Horizontal Flip or Vertical Flip
  3. Preview the result
  4. Download

Tips

  • Rotation by 90/180/270 degrees is lossless — no quality loss
  • Custom angle rotation may slightly reduce quality due to interpolation
  • Flipping is always lossless
  • Many phones embed orientation data in EXIF — some tools auto-correct this
