How to use Rotate image

  1. 1

    Pick one or more images (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or BMP), or paste one with Ctrl+V.

  2. 2

    Press "Rotate left" or "Rotate right" until the preview looks right. Each press turns the images by 90°.

  3. 3

    Tick a mirror option if the picture is reversed, for example a selfie or a scanned slide.

  4. 4

    With several images, choose whether to rotate all of them or only the wide or only the tall ones.

  5. 5

    Press "Rotate images" and download the result, as one file or a ZIP.

What this tool does

Rotate image turns pictures by 90°, 180° or 270° and can mirror them left to right or top to bottom. It fixes the sideways phone photo, the upside-down scan and the reversed selfie, for one image or a whole folder at once.

Features

  • Live preview of every image, so you can see the result before saving.
  • Rotate left or right in 90° steps, plus mirror in either direction.
  • Batch rotation of many images at once, downloaded as a ZIP.
  • Only landscape or only portrait: rotate just the images of one shape and keep the rest unchanged.
  • Keeps the format: a JPG stays a JPG and a PNG keeps its transparency. GIF and BMP files are saved as PNG.
  • Full resolution: nothing is scaled down.

Limits

  • Only quarter turns (90°, 180° and 270°). To straighten a slightly tilted horizon, use a photo editor.
  • Animated GIFs are saved as a still PNG of the first frame.
  • Metadata such as EXIF camera data and GPS location is not kept in the saved files.
  • Very large batches are processed one image at a time, so they take longer on slower devices.

Where your file is processed

This tool works in your browser: your file is processed on your own device, so it isn't sent to our server for this tool. Some other tools on UtiloNest do use our server, and their pages say so.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my photo look sideways on one device and upright on another?

Phones store a photo the way the sensor saw it and add an orientation note in its EXIF data. Some apps and websites follow that note and some ignore it. This tool applies the note first, so what you see in the preview is how the file really looks, and the saved image is upright everywhere.

Does rotating reduce the quality?

PNG stays lossless. JPG, WebP and AVIF are saved again at high quality (92%), which looks the same as the original. The image keeps its full size in pixels; only width and height swap for a 90° turn.

What does "only landscape" or "only portrait" do?

It rotates only the images of that shape and keeps the others as they are. This helps when a camera saved some photos of a set sideways and the rest correctly. Square images count as neither shape, so they are left alone when you choose one.

What is the difference between rotating and mirroring?

Rotating turns the whole picture, like turning a printed photo on a table. Mirroring flips it, like looking at it in a mirror, so text reads backwards. Use mirroring for selfies that came out reversed.
