Key takeaways
- Rotate Image straightens a sideways or upside-down photo, or rotates it to any angle you need.
- Common after scanning a document the wrong way up, or importing a phone photo that displays rotated.
- The rotated image downloads instantly — no quality loss from the rotation itself.
Rotating a photo
Open Rotate Image, drop in your photo, choose the rotation (90°, 180°, or a custom angle), and download the corrected version. For mirroring instead of rotating, see Flip Image.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my phone photo show up sideways in the first place?
Phones often save a photo's actual pixel data in one orientation and store the 'correct' rotation as metadata — some apps and websites don't read that metadata, so the photo displays sideways even though the file itself says otherwise.
Does rotating reduce image quality?
No — a 90°/180°/270° rotation just rearranges pixels without any loss. Rotating to an arbitrary angle (like 15°) does involve some quality trade-off, since the image has to be resampled.
