How to rotate an image online

Rotate and flip image turns photos the right way up or mirrors them. You can add up to 50 photos, and every one is turned the same way.

Add your photos.

Under Turn, choose 90° right, 90° left, Upside down (180°) or Don't turn.

Under Flip, choose Don't flip, Mirror left to right, or Mirror top to bottom. You can turn and flip in one go.

Press Rotate and download. Several photos come together.

A 90° turn swaps the width and height, so a 4000 × 3000 photo becomes 3000 × 4000. Nothing is cut off.

Why photos show up sideways

Phones often save a photo the way the sensor saw it and add a small note saying which way is up. Your gallery reads that note, but some websites and upload forms ignore it, so the same photo appears sideways once uploaded. Saving a fresh copy here turns the picture itself, so it looks upright everywhere.

Scanned pages and photos of notes are another common case: a page shot in landscape ends up lying on its side.

Flip image or mirror it: when you need it

Selfies from the front camera can show text backwards, for example on a T-shirt or a sign. Mirror left to right fixes it.

A photo taken through a mirror, such as a room or an outfit, can be flipped back to how it really looks.

Designers sometimes mirror a photo so the person faces into the page instead of out of it.

Mirror top to bottom is handy for reflections and for pictures that were scanned upside down and backwards.

Tips for many photos at once

Because every photo you add gets the same turn, group them first. Rotate all the ones that lean right in one go, then do the ones that lean left. For class notes or a set of documents, rotate them before you use JPG to PDF, so every page in the PDF reads the right way.

Only quarter turns are possible here. To straighten a slightly tilted photo by a few degrees, crop away the crooked edges with Crop image instead.

PNG files stay PNG and keep see-through parts. Other photos are saved as JPG at high quality.

Rotate photo online free before you upload to a form

The turning happens in your browser, on your own device. No photo is uploaded, there is no sign-up and no watermark, and it works the same on Android, iPhone and a computer.

Admission and recruitment portals often show a small preview after you upload a photo, a signature or a document. If that preview is sideways, the person checking your form sees it sideways too, and some offices ask you to upload again. It is quicker to check every file before you submit. Open each photo on your computer or phone, and if one leans the wrong way, turn it here, then continue with Photo to KB if the form sets a size limit. The same check helps with scanned pages for a job application, receipts for an expense claim, and photos of notes you plan to share with classmates, so nobody has to tilt their head to read them.
