What is Image Rotator?

Image rotation corrects photos taken at an angle, rotates scanned documents, and adjusts images for specific display requirements. Phones and cameras embed EXIF orientation metadata, but not all apps read it — resulting in photos that appear rotated 90° in certain browsers or apps. Explicitly rotating and updating the EXIF tag ensures consistent display everywhere.

This rotator supports 90° clockwise and counter-clockwise, 180° flip, horizontal mirror, vertical flip, and free-angle rotation with configurable background fill. All operations use the Canvas API in your browser — no image is uploaded to any server. The EXIF orientation tag is updated or removed to prevent double rotation.

Image Rotator FAQs

Quick answers about the workflow, privacy, and where this tool fits in a broader job.

Why does my photo look rotated in some apps?

Cameras store rotation in EXIF metadata; the image data itself may be sideways. Apps that read EXIF show it correctly; those that ignore EXIF show raw orientation. Explicitly rotating and stripping the EXIF flag ensures it looks correct everywhere.

Does rotating reduce quality?

90°/180°/270° JPEG rotations can theoretically be done losslessly with jpegtran. This browser tool re-encodes via Canvas, applying a small quality reduction for JPEG. PNG rotation is always lossless.

Can I flip an image as a mirror?

Yes — Horizontal Flip creates a left-right mirror. Vertical Flip creates an upside-down reflection. Useful for logo placement, watermark positioning, and creative composition.
