Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rotate by a custom angle?
Yes — use the free rotation control for any angle, or pick the 90/180/270 presets for a fast fix.
Will rotation crop or distort my image?
Right-angle rotation never crops. Free angles letterbox the corners in the selected background color.
Does rotating lose quality?
No — 90/180/270 rotations are lossless pixel operations.
Can I flip instead of rotate?
Yes — vertical and horizontal flips are built into the same tool for mirror corrections.
How this tool works
Rotating fixes the two orientation problems every camera produces: photos taken on their side, and scans that came out upside down. It is also the tool behind straightening a horizon that leans a couple of degrees.
- Drop your image and tap 90, 180 or 270 degrees, or drag the angle slider for a fine correction. A grid overlay appears while you adjust, so you can line up a horizon or a document edge against it before exporting.
- The rotation is applied to the pixels during export, which means the result looks correct in every viewer - including the ones that ignore a photo's built-in orientation flag.
Why baked-in rotation beats an orientation flag
Phone cameras often store the image sideways and attach a small metadata flag telling viewers to rotate it. Most web browsers, messaging apps and upload portals respect that flag, but plenty of CMS thumbnails, email clients and older software do not - and that is exactly how sideways photos end up on a company website.
Exporting with the rotation applied removes the guesswork forever. For small angle corrections, one resample at the end is enough: repeatedly nudging the slider re-renders the image each time and softens fine detail.
Pro tip: Fix orientation once, at final size. If the horizon still leans after a 90-degree step, use a small angle like 1-3 degrees and let the grid guide you.
