Rotate any photo 90°, 180°, or 270°. Flip horizontally or vertically. Instant preview before you download. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF — entirely in your browser.
The most common reason a photo appears sideways or upside-down is the EXIF orientation tag. When you hold your phone at an angle while taking a photo, the camera records the angle in the image's metadata — but not all apps read that tag correctly. The result is a photo that looks fine on your phone but appears rotated when you open it on a computer, share it online, or embed it in a document.
ImgSwift's rotate tool solves this permanently. Instead of just updating the metadata tag, it physically rearranges the pixel data so the image displays correctly in every app, browser, and device — even ones that ignore EXIF orientation entirely.
Flipping is equally useful: photographers mirror images for symmetry effects, designers create reflected layouts, and content creators flip selfie-style photos to match the natural left-right orientation viewers expect. All of this runs locally in your browser — no file ever leaves your device.
Drag your JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF image into the rotate tool, or click to select a file from your device.
Click 90° CW, 90° CCW, 180°, flip horizontal, or flip vertical. Or type a custom angle. The preview updates instantly.
Click Download to save the corrected image instantly to your device. No account, no watermark, no limits.
Upload your image to ImgSwift's rotate tool and click the "90° CW" button. The image rotates clockwise by 90 degrees instantly. Click again for 180° or 270°. Download the result with one click — no signup required.
Yes. ImgSwift lets you flip images horizontally (mirror left-right) and vertically (flip upside-down) in addition to rotating. Both operations are shown in a live preview before you download.
Sideways photos are caused by the EXIF orientation tag. Cameras write the orientation at capture, but some apps ignore it and display the raw pixel data instead. ImgSwift's rotate tool lets you correct the orientation and saves the image with the rotation baked into the pixel data — so it displays correctly everywhere.
For PNG and WebP, rotation is completely lossless — the pixel data is rearranged without any re-encoding. For JPG, ImgSwift re-encodes at high quality (95%+), which is visually indistinguishable from the original for any practical use.
ImgSwift supports JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and GIF as input. The rotated image can be downloaded as JPG, PNG, or WebP — your choice.
No. ImgSwift performs all rotation and flipping directly in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device — there is no server upload, no data storage, and no privacy risk.
