Frequently Asked Questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All rotation happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device.

Can I rotate by custom angles?

Currently the tool supports 90°, 180°, and 270° rotations. These cover the most common rotation needs.

Does rotation affect image quality?

No. The image data is rotated without re-compression. Quality is preserved exactly.

What formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, and WebP. The output maintains the same format as the input.

Does rotating affect image quality?

No. 90-degree rotations are lossless operations that simply reorient the pixel data without any recompression or quality loss.

Can I rotate images on my phone?

Yes. The tool works on any device with a modern browser. Perfect for fixing photos taken in the wrong orientation on mobile.

Is the original file modified?

No. Your original file is never changed. The tool creates a new rotated version that you download separately.

Is rotating an image truly lossless?

Yes. 90-degree rotations simply reorient the pixel grid without any encoding or decoding. The image data is rearranged, not recompressed, so quality is perfectly preserved.

Can I rotate by angles other than 90 degrees?

Currently the tool supports 90°, 180°, and 270° rotations. These are the most common corrections needed. Arbitrary angle rotation would require resampling and could reduce quality.

Why does my photo look sideways when I upload it?

Some cameras store orientation in EXIF metadata rather than actually rotating the pixels. If software ignores this metadata, the photo may appear sideways. Rotating it here fixes the actual pixel orientation.

Can I rotate and then crop the image?

Yes. Rotate the image first, download the result, then use the Crop tool to trim it. Each tool does one thing well, giving you precise control over the final result.

When to Use This Tool

Fix photos taken in the wrong orientation on your phone or camera

Rotate scanned documents that were fed sideways into the scanner

Correct landscape photos that should be portrait (or vice versa)

Adjust image orientation before uploading to websites or social media

Format	Description	Best For
JPEG	Standard photo format	Camera photos, web images
PNG	Lossless with transparency	Screenshots, graphics
WebP	Modern compressed format	Web content, optimized images

Tips & Best Practices

90-degree rotations are completely lossless — no quality is lost during rotation

Use 180° rotation to flip upside-down photos taken with the phone held wrong

Preview the rotation before downloading to make sure the orientation is correct

For mirroring (left-right flip), use the Flip tool instead
