Rotate Image Online — Free Image Rotator
Rotate images by 90°, 180°, or a custom angle online. Free, browser-based, no upload.
Rotating an image is one of the most frequent corrections needed for photos taken in the wrong orientation, or for design work that requires precise angle adjustments. This tool lets you rotate by common preset angles (90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, 180°) or enter any custom angle in degrees. The output image dimensions are automatically adjusted to accommodate the rotated content. Everything runs in your browser.
How to use
- Click 'Choose Image' and select the image you want to rotate.
- Select a preset angle (90° CW, 90° CCW, 180°) or enter a custom angle in degrees.
- Click 'Rotate' and download the rotated image.
FAQ
Will the canvas size change when I rotate by a non-90° angle?
Yes. For 90° and 270° rotations, the width and height swap. For arbitrary angles, the canvas is enlarged to contain the entire rotated image, with transparent (PNG) or white (JPG) padding in the corners. This ensures no content is cropped.
What direction is positive rotation?
Positive angles rotate the image clockwise. Negative angles rotate counter-clockwise. So entering -90 is equivalent to 90° CCW, and 270 is equivalent to 90° CCW as well.
Can I rotate animated GIFs?
This tool processes still images. JPEG, PNG, and WebP are fully supported. GIFs will be processed as static images (first frame only).
Does rotating a JPEG reduce quality?
JPEG rotation via the canvas API is a decode-re-encode cycle, which introduces a small amount of quality loss. This is generally imperceptible at the quality setting used by this tool. For lossless JPEG rotation, use a dedicated tool that supports lossless JPEG transform (e.g. jpegtran). Converting to PNG first also avoids this.
What formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, and WebP images up to 100MB are supported. The output format matches the input format.
Is the rotation done in my browser or on a server?
Rotation runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
