How to crop, rotate, or flip an image

  1. Add your image Drop one JPG, PNG, or WebP file into the editor.
  2. Crop, rotate, or flip Use a free crop or a fixed ratio, then correct the orientation.
  3. Export at full resolution Choose PNG, JPG, or WebP and download the edited image.

Fix orientation without a desktop editor

Phone cameras store orientation as metadata, and some upload forms ignore that metadata. The result is a photo that looks correct on your phone but sideways on a website. Rotating the pixels themselves gives you a file that displays correctly everywhere.

Use the clockwise or counterclockwise buttons to rotate in 90-degree steps. Each rotation swaps the width and height, and the crop box adjusts to the new orientation.

Rotation and image quality

Rotating a JPG through a browser requires re-encoding, so the output is a new JPG rather than a byte-for-byte copy. At a high quality setting the difference is usually invisible, but repeated rotations and saves can slowly soften the image.

For PNG output, the rotation is lossless in terms of pixels: the image is redrawn and encoded without JPEG artifacts. Keep a high-quality original if the image will be edited again.

Combine rotation with a crop

After rotating, drag the crop box to remove unwanted edges or to fit a specific aspect ratio. This is useful for scanned documents, product photos shot sideways, and social images that need a vertical format.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating an image reduce quality?

The pixels are redrawn and the file is re-encoded. JPG output may lose a small amount of quality; PNG output is lossless. Keep the original for future edits.

Can I rotate by an arbitrary angle?

This tool rotates in 90-degree steps. For slight horizon corrections or custom angles, use an image editor with free-angle rotation.

Why does my rotated photo still look sideways?

Some viewers ignore orientation metadata. This tool writes the rotation into the pixels, so the exported file should display correctly in any viewer.

Can I rotate and crop at the same time?

Yes. Rotate first, then position the crop box. Both operations are applied to the final export.
