Rotate images by any angle

Updated 28 September 2026

Enter an angle in degrees, drop your images and download them turned: 90 for a quarter turn clockwise, 180 for upside down, -90 for a quarter turn the other way. It runs in your browser, is free and needs no account.

Why photos show up sideways

Phones and cameras often store the pixels on their side and add an orientation tag that records which way is up. Your phone honors that tag. Some websites, email programs and editors ignore it, and there the same photo lies on its side.

We apply the tag first, so every image starts out upright, and only then turn the pixels themselves by your angle. From then on, every program shows the picture the same way.

How to rotate images

1. Drag one image, or a folder full of them, onto the drop zone.
2. Enter how far to turn, in whole degrees, using a minus sign to go counterclockwise.
3. Click Rotate.
4. Save each image, or all of them together as one ZIP.

Choosing an angle

Enter any whole number between -360 and 360. A positive angle turns clockwise, and a negative one turns counterclockwise.

Quarter and half turns (90, 180 and 270) move pixels to new positions. Nothing gets resampled, so sharpness is untouched.

Small corrections work too, such as 3 degrees to level a horizon. These need resampling, which costs a very slight amount of sharpness. The canvas also expands to hold the tilted picture, and background fills the new corners, so crop them away afterwards.

Formats and re-saving

Supported formats are JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF and BMP, and every image keeps both its format and its transparency. PNG output stays lossless. JPG and WebP get a high-quality re-save, visually identical but still one more generation. Always rotate from the original, not from a copy that was already rotated.

Fixing a folder of sideways photos

Rotation runs on your own device, so we set no batch cap and no daily allowance. Drop the whole folder, give it one angle, and download everything as a single ZIP. The speed depends on your computer or phone, and each image can be up to 50 MB. No account is needed.

When a job needs more than one tool, a pipeline chains several of them into a recipe, for example resize, then convert, then compress, then rename, and runs it over many files. Pipelines are free to try on up to 3 files, and Pro runs them on up to 500. For one large job without a subscription, credits cover 25 files each and never expire.
