How to use the flip and rotate tool
- Click "Choose an image" and pick a JPG, PNG or WebP file from your device.
- Click a button to flip the image horizontally or vertically, or rotate it 90 degrees.
- Apply as many steps as you need — each action builds on the previous result.
- Review the preview, then click "Download PNG" to save the final image.
How the transformations work
A horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right, so text and faces appear reversed. A vertical flip mirrors it top-to-bottom, turning the picture upside down. Rotation turns the whole image a quarter turn at a time. Because the operations are lossless and cumulative, you can combine them — for example, rotate twice for a 180-degree turn, or flip then rotate to correct a photo that was taken at the wrong angle.
When to flip or rotate
Photos taken on phones are sometimes stored sideways or upside down, and rotating them here fixes the orientation in seconds. Flipping is useful for product photos that need to face the other direction, for selfies where the front camera mirrored the shot, and for graphics and logos that must be reflected. Designers also flip images to check composition, since a mirrored view can reveal balance problems the original hides.
Lossless output
Every result is exported as a PNG, so no detail is lost to re-compression during the download. The rotation step redraws the picture onto a canvas whose width and height are swapped, keeping every pixel intact. If you need a smaller file afterwards, run the result through our Image Compressor.
Fixing camera orientation
Phones and cameras store an orientation tag rather than physically turning the pixels, which is why a photo can look correct in one app and sideways in another. Rotating it here bakes the correct orientation into the image itself, so it displays upright everywhere — in galleries, documents and uploads. If a picture is both mirrored and sideways, flip it first, then rotate, and the two steps compose cleanly into one corrected image.
