Fix sideways and upside-down photos
Phones store a hidden “orientation” note in photos. Some apps and websites ignore it, which is why a picture can look fine on your phone but appear sideways after uploading. Rotating it here saves the pixels the right way round, so it displays correctly everywhere.
Rotate, straighten or flip?
- Rotate 90° or 180° for photos that are sideways or upside down.
- Use the angle slider to straighten a tilted horizon or a crooked scan. Small angles of 1–3° make a big difference.
- Flip horizontally to fix mirrored selfies, so writing on a shirt or sign reads correctly.
- Flip vertically for reflections and special effects.
What happens to the corners?
When you rotate by an angle that isn't a multiple of 90°, the picture no longer fills a rectangle, so empty corners appear. Keep them transparent (saved as PNG or WebP) or fill them with a colour. To remove them completely, crop the result with the Image Cropper.
Rotating PDF pages instead?
If the sideways pages are inside a PDF, use Rotate PDF, which turns the pages without changing the text or reducing quality.
