Why rotate 90 degrees?

Phones and cameras often save a photo sideways, especially when you hold the device at an angle or the orientation tag is wrong. A 90° turn puts it the right way up so it looks correct everywhere — in galleries, documents, and uploads.

A 90° rotation is completely lossless for the pixels: the image is simply turned a quarter-circle, so nothing is stretched, squashed, or blurred. The width and height swap, and that's it.

How to rotate an image 90 degrees

  1. Open your image. Drag a photo onto the tool above, choose a file, or paste from your clipboard.
  2. Rotate 90°. The page opens already set to 90° clockwise. Use rotate-left for counter-clockwise, or tap 90° / 270° to choose the direction.
  3. Download. Click Download to save the upright image — in the same format you opened.

Clockwise vs counter-clockwise

If a photo is lying on its right side, rotate it counter-clockwise (left). If it's on its left side, rotate clockwise (right). The live preview shows you instantly which way is correct.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating 90° lose any quality?

No. A 90° turn just rearranges the existing pixels, so it's lossless. Quality only changes if you re-encode a JPG at a low quality setting.

Can I rotate counter-clockwise too?

Yes. Use the rotate-left button for 90° counter-clockwise, or pick the 270° preset — they produce the same result.

Will it keep my JPG or PNG format?

Yes. The output stays in the format you opened by default. You can switch it before downloading if you want.

Where is my image processed?

The rotation happens in your browser, so the new file is created on your own device. How any data associated with the tool is handled is described in our privacy policy.
