Same photo rotated 90° clockwise — now upright
What is Rotate Image?
Rotate Image turns an image by any angle and bakes the rotation into the pixel data. Unlike EXIF orientation flags which some apps ignore, this guarantees the image displays correctly in every viewer. Includes quick 90°/180°/270° buttons and full free-angle slider, plus flip horizontal/vertical.

Examples
Fix a sideways phone photo
Phone saved photo with rotation in EXIF only — older viewers ignore that. Rotate 90° here to bake it in.
Mirror for design
Flip horizontal to create a symmetric layout asset from a single source.
Common use cases
- Permanently fixing rotated phone photos
- Mirroring assets for symmetric designs
- Free-angle tilts for creative composition
- Pre-processing before OCR (text-aligned correctly)
Troubleshooting
- Free-angle rotation leaves blank corners.
- Canvas is enlarged to fit the rotated image. The transparent corners can be filled by setting a background colour or by cropping afterwards.
