A turn changes direction
Right 90° turns clockwise; Left 90° turns counterclockwise. A quarter turn swaps the displayed width and height. A half turn makes the image upside down without mirroring its letters or other details.

Rotate Image
A sideways photograph, a tilted scan, or a graphic that needs a different direction can interrupt an otherwise simple task. Rotate Image gives the picture a large working surface and keeps the controls beside it. Turn by a quarter or half revolution, or enter a precise angle. The canvas grows around the result so the corners stay in the exported image.

UNDERSTAND THE RESULT
A little context before the next click.
An exact angle needs more canvas
At angles between quarter turns, the enclosing rectangle becomes larger. Empty corner areas are transparent in PNG and WebP, or white in JPEG. The tool does not crop those corners or stretch the original to fill them.
Preview size is not export size
Fit keeps the result inside the working view. 100% shows one image pixel per CSS pixel and lets you scroll the preview. The dimensions reported beside Download describe the actual exported canvas, including any new empty space.
HOW TO USE IT
From an original to a clear next step.
- Choose a still JPEG, PNG, or WebP, drag it onto the tool, paste an image, or try Sample.
- Use Left 90°, Right 90°, or 180° for a quick turn. For fine adjustment, move the angle slider or enter a value from −180° to 180° in 0.1° steps.
- Compare Original and Result. Positive angles turn clockwise. Check whether the expanded canvas and its corners suit the destination.
- Choose PNG for transparent corners, or JPEG for a white background. Adjust quality where available, then download the rotated copy. Reset returns to the original direction.
EVERYDAY USES
Small image tasks, with room to see.
Correct a sideways photo
Turn the displayed photo left or right until its subject is upright. Existing supported EXIF orientation is applied before your rotation, so you adjust the picture you can actually see.
Straighten a scanned page
Use a small angle to make a line or edge level. This tool keeps the surrounding canvas. If you need to remove the resulting borders, download the image and open it in Crop Image.
Prepare a graphic for a layout
Try different directions without overwriting the source. Inspect the dimensions before using the result in a slide, document, or image frame. A rotated landscape picture may need a taller space.
YOUR IMAGE, YOUR DEVICE
Local processing. A separate result.
The selected image is read and processed in this browser. This tool does not upload the file to a server or save it in browser storage. Choosing another file or leaving the tool releases its working images. Downloaded copies remain wherever your browser saves them.
Every change starts from the original image in memory. Export creates a new raster file; original EXIF, camera information, and embedded profile metadata are not copied. Browser decoding and color management can affect the result, so keep your original for archival work.
This release handles one file at a time, up to 25 MB, 16 megapixels, and 16,384 pixels on either side. Animated images are rejected rather than flattened to one frame. Browser encoding support can vary. A failed export shows an error and never leaves an outdated result ready to download. Read the site privacy policy for the surrounding website.
File sizes and limits use decimal units: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes and 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. Rounded labels are for readability; target checks compare exact bytes.

Before you save or share.
Does the tool crop the corners?
No. It expands the output rectangle to include the rotated image. New corner space is transparent in PNG or WebP and white in JPEG.
Can I enter a custom angle?
Yes. Enter an angle between −180° and 180°. Positive is clockwise, negative is counterclockwise. The slider supports tenths of a degree, and the numeric field can be used directly.
Will a 90° turn change the dimensions?
It swaps width and height. A 1200 × 800 picture becomes 800 × 1200. At other angles, the bounding canvas can grow in both directions.
Is rotation lossless?
Quarter turns can preserve the decoded pixel arrangement, but JPEG and lossy WebP export re-encode it. Arbitrary angles resample pixels. PNG avoids an additional lossy encoding step, but cannot restore detail already missing from the source.
Why can an allowed image fail at a certain angle?
The expanded output must still fit the 16-megapixel and 16,384-pixel-per-side limits. A large source can fit before rotation but exceed the limit afterward. Resize it first or choose a smaller angle.
Does repeated turning degrade the image?
Each result is rendered from the original image with the current total angle. It does not rotate a previously encoded result again. Reset restores zero degrees and the original output settings.
