Image Rotator

About Image Rotator

Cameras record orientation in metadata rather than rotating the actual pixels - so a photo can look right on one device and sideways on another. This tool rotates or flips the image pixels themselves, baking the correct orientation into the file so it displays properly everywhere.

How Image Rotator works

1. Upload the photo.
2. Pick the rotation - 90 degrees clockwise fixes most sideways phone photos.
3. Use Flip if the image is mirrored (common with front-camera selfies).
4. Apply and download.

Features

• Rotates 90, 180 or 270 degrees, plus horizontal/vertical flip
• Fixes orientation permanently in the file - not just a display flag
• Solves photos that differ between viewers
• For document pages inside a PDF, use Rotate PDF instead

Tips for best results

• If a photo looks right on your phone but wrong on a PC, this tool is the fix - rotating here makes every viewer agree.
• Rotate before uploading to websites and forms; many strip orientation metadata and show the raw pixels.
• For sideways pages inside a PDF, use Rotate PDF - it fixes orientation page by page within the document.

FAQ

Why did my photo open sideways?

The camera stored orientation as metadata instead of rotating pixels; viewers that ignore that flag show it wrong. Rotating here writes the correct orientation into the image itself.

How do I check the result?

Open the downloaded file in a different viewer - a browser or messaging preview. If it is upright there, it is upright for everyone.

Flip or rotate for a mirrored selfie?

Use Flip - mirroring is a reflection, not a rotation.
