About the Image Rotator
A photo that looks upright on your phone and sideways everywhere else is not broken. Cameras usually record the picture in the sensor's orientation and add a small EXIF tag saying which way up it should be shown, and every program that ignores that tag shows it rotated. Rotating the actual pixels here removes the ambiguity, so the image looks the same in every viewer, on every upload form and in every printed document.
The 90-degree buttons cover most of it. The fine-angle slider handles the other case: a horizon that sits a degree or two off level, a scanned document that went through the feeder slightly askew, a whiteboard photographed at a tilt. Small corrections like these are what separate a photo that looks casual from one that looks deliberate.
Any angle that is not a multiple of 90 leaves empty triangles at the corners, so the canvas is grown to fit the rotated image and those corners are filled with white rather than left black or transparent. The result is exported at full resolution — nothing is downscaled to fit the preview. Everything runs in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded and there is no limit on how many you rotate.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I rotate an image online?
- Upload it, then click Rotate left or Rotate right for quarter turns. For a small correction, drag the fine-angle slider until the image sits level.
- Why does my photo look sideways on some devices?
- The camera stored it rotated with an EXIF orientation tag, and some programs ignore that tag. Rotating the pixels here fixes it everywhere at once.
- Does rotating lose quality?
- Quarter turns are effectively lossless. Other angles resample the image slightly, which is imperceptible for a single correction.
