Step by step

How to rotate and flip images

  1. 1
    Load your image

    Drag and drop an image onto the drop zone, click to browse your files, or paste one from the clipboard with Ctrl+V.

  2. 2
    Rotate or flip

    Click "90° CW" or "90° CCW" to rotate in 90° steps, or "180°" for a half-turn. Toggle "Flip Horizontal" or "Flip Vertical" independently — the preview updates instantly.

  3. 3
    Download

    When you are happy with the result, click Download. The file is saved in the original format with a descriptive suffix in the filename.

  4. 4
    Reset if needed

    Click Reset at any time to undo all transforms and return to the original image without reloading the file.

Tips & notes

Getting the best result

  • Supports GIF and BMP

    GIF and BMP images are supported for input, but the canvas cannot encode them on download — they will be saved as PNG instead.

  • Preview uses CSS transforms

    The on-screen preview updates via CSS, so it is instant and never re-encodes the image just to show you a preview.

  • Cumulative rotation

    Each click of 90° CW or 90° CCW adds to the current rotation. Four clicks returns to 0°.

  • Flip toggles independently

    Horizontal and vertical flips are independent. You can apply both at the same time to create a 180° rotation with reflection.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating a JPEG reduce quality?
Download encodes the result using the Canvas API, which re-compresses JPEG. For best quality keep JPEG at high quality. The lossless jpegtran path is not currently available in this version.
Can I rotate and flip at the same time?
Yes. Rotation and flip are independent transforms — you can apply any combination. The preview shows the combined result in real time.
What happens to GIF and BMP files on download?
The canvas cannot encode GIF or BMP, so those files are saved as PNG on download. The quality is lossless — only the format changes.
How do I undo a rotate or flip?
Click Reset to undo all transforms at once and return to the original. Or click the opposite rotation button — for example, clicking 90° CW four times returns to 0°.
Is my image sent to a server?
No. All rotation and flip processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
What is the maximum file size?
The tool accepts images up to 50 MB. Very large images may take a moment to load and process, depending on your device.
