Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fix a sideways photo?+

Upload the photo and click '90° Right' or '90° Left' until upright. Click 'Download' to save the corrected version.

What is the difference between rotating and flipping?+

Rotating turns the image around its centre. Flipping creates a mirror image - horizontal flip mirrors left-to-right, vertical flip mirrors top-to-bottom.

Why does my photo look rotated on my computer but correct in the browser?+

Cameras store an orientation flag in EXIF data rather than physically rotating the pixels. Some apps respect this flag; others don't. This tool works on the actual pixel data.

Can I rotate a GIF?+

This tool works best with still images. Animated GIFs require a dedicated GIF editor to rotate all frames.
