Quick Tool Overview

The Image Rotator turns a photo by a quarter turn or by any angle you choose, and writes the orientation into the pixels so every program agrees on which way is up. Quarter turns are exactly lossless. A free angle grows the canvas rather than clipping the corners, and you decide what fills the wedges that appear.

About the Image Rotator

A photograph taken in portrait that arrives sideways is usually an orientation tag the receiving program ignored. Rotating the pixels themselves fixes it permanently, wherever the file ends up.

Quarter turns are exact: the pixels are moved, not resampled, so a 90 degree rotation loses nothing at all and rotating back returns the original bit for bit. A free angle does require resampling, and the canvas is grown so the corners are not clipped — with a choice of a transparent, coloured or blurred fill for the wedges that appear. The auto option reads the EXIF orientation flag and applies whatever rotation the camera intended.

Key features of the Image Rotator

Lossless quarter turns

90, 180 and 270 degrees move whole pixels rather than resampling them, so rotating and rotating back returns the original exactly.

Free angle slider

Any angle in between, with the canvas grown so no part of the picture is clipped off.

Reads the EXIF orientation

The auto option applies whatever rotation the camera recorded, which is the fix for photos that look right in one app and sideways in another.

Corner fill options

The wedges left by an odd angle can be transparent, a flat colour, or a blurred copy of the image.

Nothing is uploaded

The rotation happens on a canvas in your browser, so the photo never leaves the device.

Frequently asked questions

Not for 90, 180 or 270 degrees — those move whole pixels, so nothing is resampled and the result is lossless. Any other angle requires interpolation, which softens fine detail very slightly.
